“The city of New Angeles is big, almost sixty thousand square kilometers tucked in between the coast and the Andes, from the Guayaquil District to Esmeraldas, and following the Guayllabamba Valley east through the Andes del Oeste to the international border at Quito. They say over a billion people live here, and I don’t doubt it. It’s big, it’s sprawling, it’s noisy, it’s crooked as a politician’s view of life, and, unfortunately, it’s home.”
-Free Fall, William H. Keith
