"Seven stories from CortGazar's volume Deshoras (see HLAS 48:5600). Useful afterword by Manguel places work in biographical, literary, and political context. Powerful, often fantastic narrations told from different points of view, compellingly translated by Manguel. Important contribution to CortGazar bibliography in English"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.http://www.loc.gov/hlas/
