Walking Words by Eduardo Galeano

Walking Words is a brilliant feat of storytelling in the tradition of Italo Calvino's Italian Folktale. In it, Eduardo Galeano, author of the acclaimed Memory of Fire trilogy, draws on the folklore of the rural and urban Latin America to discover and retell the stories of ghouls and fools that I'd like to write. These tales are beautifully illustrated by his collaborator, the Brazilian wood cut artist Jose Francisco Borges, and become testaments to the power of stories to make and remake and enchant the world.

"Anyone with a liking for fables, aphorisms, myths, fairy tales, philosophical parables, childrens stories, lurid tabloid headlines or clever graffiti will find plenty to enjoy. . . At his best Galeano rivals such masters of the fable as Kafka and that other Borges, and it is to their work that his haunting pages should rightly be compared." -- Michael Dirda - Washington Post Book World
Eduardo Galeano (1940—2015) was the author of Open Veins of Latin America, Days and Nights of Love and War, The Book of Embraces, We Say No, and other works.
