Editor’s Note: As a collective, the Gear Patrol staff is a wealth of knowledge about products — everyone is an expert in his or her own right. Of course, every story we publish is a testament to that. In our personal lives, we pursue our product passion too. This series is our way of showcasing and sharing our insights on products we inpidually endorse and love and own. Our hope is that you enjoy it all — and perhaps discover something new as you meet our staff over the next few weeks.
In my life, things come and go. I’ve bought, sold and traded more guitars than I can remember. I’ve built bicycles, had bicycles stolen. I’ve found, altered and recycled clothing. I appreciate great products, but I don’t idolize them. They’re just things. As such, my favorites offer something that you can take anywhere. Even if you don’t have the physical things, you’ll have the songs, stories, perspectives and memories.
‘See You at Breakfast?’ by Guillermo Fadanelli
This is the first English translation of Guillermo Fadanelli’s work, a quick yet visceral 15-chapter novella. Fadanelli is an award-winning Mexican author who published nine novels and seven short stories in Spanish before See You At Breakfast. This is dark and poignant — a must read.
