This book is about Akin Quicksilver's struggle to acquire education, which every Nigerian knows to be the surest means of ascending from poverty. With the death of his benefactor and a mediocre performance at the West African School Certificate Examinations, he knows that the only way to advance himself academically must be through his own exertion and determination. The inability to fulfill his educational ambition in Nigeria sets him out on adventure, which eventually takes him to Liberia where he has to eke out an existence by shining shoes. Through his dedication to his shoeshine business, he gets a lucky break. An Episcopal Mission in the country employs him as a utility man. In spite of suffering a series of setbacks, he obtains a scholarship to an American university and eventually wends his way to America. His strongest motivation for success is his love for Jumoke Phoenix, which is seriously threatened by his poor performance in the West African School Certificate Examinations. Jumoke is in grade one and Akin in three, with little or no chance for further advancement. The problem is further complicated by the appearance of a rival who seems to be gaining an upper hand in the competition for Jumoke's affection. Akin is determined not to give Jumoke the satisfaction of saying in future: "I m glad I left him at the time I did."

Brazilian-born Gil is trying to find the American Dream. In the meantime, he polishes the shoes of the superrich and powerful on Wall Street—high-rolling traders as uninhibited as they are ruthless. Gil sees things as few other people do—from the ground up—and his perspective on the day-to-day insanity of the trading floor is priceless. But this fly on the wall overhears one or two things that maybe he shouldn't. And when a Glossy magazine journalist, desperate for a big break, persuades him to be an undercover source for what may be the biggest insider trading scam in Wall Street history, Gil is catapulted into a danger zone darker than anything he or the journalist could have imagined.

Many lives have been altered by "spiritual experiences." Pablo, the shoeshine boy, has such an experience, one he assures the reader that they will not believe. And why should we? It's a story so outlandish that Pablo scarce believes it himself. The Shoeshine Boy is a story of individual redemption. Can Pablo, a five-year-old, illiterate orphan, survive on the streets of a hostile world? But even more, it is a novel of human redemption, contrasting the power of belief with the power of delusion, of truth with the lies we tell ourselves every day. This is a novel about faith. More broadly, it is a tale of choices. We live in a world of dwindling resources, exploding population, and technological revolution that is threatening our existence. The question becomes not whether Pablo will survive, but whether you and I will survive--and if so, how? The values we affirm and the choices we make based on our values can seal our fate as a species. Kurt Vonnegut once said that he wanted to stay as close to the edge as he could without going over. "Out on the edge," he said, "you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center." His words describe The Shoeshine Boy perfectly. It will take you to the edge.

With the poetic skill of Cesar Vallejo, and handiness of Ricardo Palma, Siluk produces a Peruvian background in a most favorable way. His vantage point, like the poet Par Lagerkvist, is rich with humanism. Thus, the Laureate Poet Dennis Siluk (awarded the title of the most favored writer for the Eldritch Dark Magazine, 2004 ((readership of some 2.2-million ((and l982, Pulitzer Entry)): his vantage point centers on the exploration and social identity of Peruvianism, for the most part; along with a twelve part poem on Vietnam. "In great poets we often find calmness and undisturbed beauty, a serenity and clarity." says acclaimed international poet Robert Bly, whom the author has had some correspondence with, and has met, and respects ... says Mr. Siluk, "Some poetry comes from our imagination and passion, like dreams that need daylight for them to be opened up; as did the Andes, Mantaro Valley, along with Huancayo and Lima, Peru, become the seeds for me in writing this new book, Spell of the Andes; which opened my imagination and passion up." Mr. Siluk once told me, "First you've heard of it, then you see it, then it becomes part of you"; and this book sure did become part of him. Rosa Pe aloza
