Almanac of the Dead

The story feels so rich and layered—I'm curious how much of it was based on research versus creative storytelling. Did the structure influence how the history was presented?

The novel's interconnected tales really emphasized themes of cultural survival and resistance. I wonder if the structure was inspired by indigenous storytelling traditions.

The shifting settings and eras added depth but also complexity. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate effort to show the ongoing nature of these issues or if it evolved during writing.
