https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/author/gonzalo-c-garcia Gonzalo C. Garcia is a PhD graduate from Kent. His interests are neo-liberal reforms in Chile in relation to cultural authenticity, memory, nostalgia, and historical trauma. He wrote his first novel in Canterbury alongside a theoretical thesis involving identity reconstructions in indigenous communities living in urban spaces. He is currently living in Santiago, Chile, where he has just finished a novel called We Are The End, a book heavily influenced by his marked interest in the relationship between video games, digital culture and everyday constructions of narrative. He writes all of his work in English. en https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/we-are-end-paperback-edition <div class="commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-field-product-image field-field-product-image node-383-product-field-product-image"><div class="field field-name-field-product-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="https://galleybeggar.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/jackets/Gonzalo-Garcia--We-Are-The_End.jpg" width="386" height="544" alt="" /></div></div></div></div><div class="commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-commerce-price field-commerce-price node-383-product-commerce-price"><div class="field field-name-commerce-price field-type-commerce-price field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Price:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">£9.99</div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product field-type-commerce-product-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><form class="commerce-add-to-cart commerce-cart-add-to-cart-form-185" action="/taxonomy/term/104/feed" method="post" id="commerce-cart-add-to-cart-form-185" accept-charset="UTF-8"><div><input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="185" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_build_id" value="form-AyBppiG1yt-k786jgDdWWVuP63V5fIIsAJ1pZ_qPSEw" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="commerce_cart_add_to_cart_form_185" /> <div id="edit-line-item-fields" class="form-wrapper"></div><input type="submit" id="edit-submit" name="op" value="Add to cart" class="form-submit" /></div></form></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-description field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><div><strong>Available for pre-order now.
