FROM THE PUBLISHER-In THE OXFORD BOOK OF LATIN AMERICAN SHORT STORIES, editor Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria brings together fifty-three stories that span the history of Latin American literature and represent the most dazzling achievements in the form. In his fascinating introduction, Gonzalez Echevarria traces the evolution of the short story in Latin American literature, explaining why the genre has flourished there with such brilliance, and illuminating the various cultural and literary tensions that resolve themselves in ‘magical realism. ' The stories themselves exhibit all the inventiveness, the luxuriousness of language, the wild metaphoric leaps and uncanny conjunctions of the ordinary with the fantastic that have given the Latin American short story its distinctive and unforgettable flavor: From the Joycean subtlety of Machado de Assis's ‘Midnight Mass, ' to the brutal parable of Julio Ramon Ribeyro's ‘The Featherless Buzzards, ' to the startling disorientation of Alejo Carpentier's ‘Journey Back to the Source' (which is told backward, because a sorcerer has waved his wand and made time flow in reverse), to the haunting reveries of Maria Luisa Bombal's ‘The Tree. ' Readers familiar with only the most popular Latin American writers will be delighted to discover many exciting new voices here, including Catalina de Erauso, Ricardo Palma, Ruben Dario, Augusto Roa Bastos, Cristina Pen Rossi, along with Borges, Garcia Márquez, Fuentes, Cortázar, Vargas Llosa, and many others. Gonzalez Echevarria also provides brief and extremely helpful headnotes for each selection, discussing the author's influences, major works, and central themes. inventory #24631.
