The Matter of Desire is the story of Pedro, a Bolivian-American political scientist who teaches at a university in upstate New York.

Trapped between two cultures, Pedro ultimately finds himself in an existential dilemma of tragic dimensions. The Matter of Desire combines elements of the political thriller and the family mystery with a torrid illicit love affair and brilliantly elucidates the complex relationship between Latin America and the United States.
