This is a multiple-genre, short story. Books like this can be produced when writing is liberated from the confines of genre. Multi-genre books are important, because they respond to a changing world in which we can do new things, write in new ways. It provides a new dimension to the concept of "crossover books", which appeal to young and old alike. The multi-genre book, rather than appeal to a wide age range, appeals to a wider range of reading tastes.

What about the future? I see a future in which readers can and do embrace a new way of understanding hybrid, genre-crossing, boundary blurring, multi-genre texts. I am optimistic this will eventually occur, as more and more multi-genre books are being made available around the world for readers to read, enjoy and engage intellectually with...Synopsis: An Italian-Chilean teacher of English travels From Santiago de Chile to Florence, Italy to celebrate New Years in his mother's home country.
