| Summary: | The best stories by the author of the unforgettable novel The Postman. Each of the stories in this book is an extraordinary piece of literature. Love, youth, desire and freedom, along with versatile prose, sensitivity and a subtle irony that sometimes morphs into dark humor, confirm Antonio Skármeta's position as one of the greatest storytellers in contemporary literature. Juan Villoro has selected and written a prologue for the best stories by Skármeta, originally published in five books that influenced an entire generation of writers and brought about a renewal of Latin American prose. |
