  • A Novel by Luis Soto-Ortiz (A.K.A
    Of Wanders and Lust A Novel by Luis Soto-Ortiz (a.k.a. Popmartfan) Version 1.0 (Abridged) Dear Reader, I began writing this novel in April 2017. The challenge I imposed on myself was to write a short story or play where the characters are musicians and what they say comes from their own lyrics. I did not know what the plot would be about but nevertheless I embarked on this project with enthusiasm. Eventually some themes came to my mind and I slowly developed them into different scenarios. This project grew to become the short novel that you are about to read. There are many relevant themes in this novel, some of them sad and others uplifting. You will see a group of musicians traveling together to different cities who, despite their different political and religious beliefs, they nevertheless stay together and help each other overcome difficult situations. You will see that the novel has several protagonists (heroes and heroines) which I will let you figure out who they are. You might even identify and relate to some of the characters. Although there are very serious themes that the novel touches upon, there are also many lighthearted moments which I hope will make you laugh or at least bring a smile to your face. I do not mean to insult anyone by the jokes or events depicted in the novel. I am not planning on making any money from this novel because I am using lyrics that are copyrighted. I do hope that by reading this novel you become a better person, someone who is more sensitive and appreciative of cultural, political and gender differences.
