Review

"Translations of 27 stories from over 40 years of writing by one of Latin America's favorite authors whose prose creates powerful surprises and compelling humor out of 'the terrors lurking in 'ordinary people' and things' in Montevideo. Fine editing and translating by Louise Popkin and 14 other translators, but lacking an introduction"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58., http://www.loc.gov/hlas
