Once Upon a Time in Colombia is inspired by the protagonist's
experiences in Colombia, where as a young American college
dropout/entrepreneur, he traveled in search of adventure, women and
money in the flourishing adult web cam chat industry. The story
follows him from a privileged upbringing in Miami to the streets of
Medellin, Colombia, -providing an inside look into the
neighborhoods, a rarely talked about sub-culture, and the city's
violent history. But the story is an upbeat beat one, dare I say,
even a love story between a boy and a city. It is also a coming of
age tale, a callous youth growing up in a rapidly changing
landscape fraught with challenges and dangers, which he must
overcome. The protagonist continues to return to Medellin, a symbol
as much as something tangible of rebellion against society, a place
where he did not have to go to college, wear a suit, and be
"proper" to be successful. In the end, sometimes happiness is a lot
closer then we think. The story is poetic, almost rhythmical, the
play on words from English to Spanish, and even just those in
English will amuse the most inattentive readers. As the story
evolves, so do the characters, and the reader gets a glimpse into
life in the South American Billion Dollar Web Cam Industry, seeing
it from the side of the women in the films, their families, the
managers, attorneys, and others involved in the business.
