In this new collection, acclaimed translator and editor Thomas Colchie brings together twenty-one mesmerizing stories-fourteen of which are being published in English for the first time-by some of today's premier voices in contemporary Latin American literature. In selections representing the wide and varied spectrum of the new Latin American writing, authors such Carmen Posadas and Jorge Volpi explore historical legends and hyper-realities with droll humor and subversive wit, while others, like Mayra Santos-Febres and Ernesto Mestre-Reed, darkly illuminate the contemporary urban scene with a grittier narrative and stylistic daring that takes the reader far beyond the tropical exotics and magical realism of the earlier "boom" writers.

Spanning life in the Latin Americas in the last several decades, the settings for these stories sweep from South America to Mexico and the Caribbean, and as far north as Alaska. A stellar collection of inventive storytelling, it will prove as irresistible as it is provocative, the mark of the very best in recent Latin American fiction.]]> 395818 3.93 30 11 55215 3.91 27904 6703 32943 3.62 138 20 116834 3.54 216 29 141862 3.52 21 7 1210837 3.10 10 4 340641 3.08 108 30 534040 3.43 14 5 1448555 3.44 9 4 4694 3.86 42305 1916 2925035 3.43 7 3 53065 3.92 74 20 7277 3.84 16229 2018 116823 3.27 201 51 12548 3.82 383 74 2925036 3.43 7 3 33407 3.59 571 105 2925037 3.43 7 3 821661 3.55 11 3 2925038 3.43 7 3 2925039 3.43 7 3
