| Summary: | A literary triumph by one of Mexico's most promising young authors, Red Ants is the first ever literary translation into English from the Sierra Zapotec. This vibrant collection of short stories by Pergentino José updates magical realism for the 21st century. Red Ants paints a candid picture of indigenous Mexican life, an essential counterpoint to cultural products of the colonial gaze. José's fantastical stories tackle themes of family, love and independence in his signature style, unapologetically personal, coolly emotional and always surprising. |
