The Vintage Book of Latin American Stories by Carlos Fuentes
In The Vintage Book of Latin American Stories, Julio Ortega and Carlos Fuentes present the most compelling short fiction from Mexico to Chile. Surreal, poetic, naturalistic, urbane, peasant-born: All styles intersect and play, often within a single piece. There is The Handsomest Drown Man in the World, the Garc a M rquez fable of a village overcome by the power of human beauty; The Aleph, Borges' classic tale of a man who discovers, in a colleague's cellar, the Universe. Here is the haunting shades of Juan Rulfo, the astonishing anxiety puzzles of Julio Cort zar, the disquieted domesticity of Clarice Lispector. Provocative, powerful, immensely engaging, The Vintage Book of Latin American Stories showcases the ingenuity, diversity, and continuing excellence of a vast and vivid literary tradition.Julio Ortega is a Brown University professor of Latin American literature and the author of several publications, including Poetics of Change: The New Spanish-American Narrative and Gabriel Garca Márquez and the Powers of Fiction.
