(who also made the selections for this volume), the stories are bleak and unforgiving.&#8221; \u2013 James Polk, <em>The New York Times Book Review<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA book of stories by the Mexican writer Jesus Gardea. The stories are part of a sophisticated literature that, in its swiftness and anecdote, runs counter to prevalent literary trends. [\u2026] The atmosphere is intimate and strange, swirling, violent. The language is characterized by short, blunt phrases. [\u2026] Gardea&#8217;s early stories have something in common with Faulkner, Rulfo, Onetti, later stories move away on a path reminiscent of Goya, Kafka, or Bacon, and in his most recent stories, the author enters a strange world that is uniquely his own, that draws nourishment from the arid landscape and cloistered life of northern Mexico\u2026. Without question, this ample collection of the author&#8217;s work encapsulates the least classifiable\u2014and in many aspects the most remarkable\u2014career in Mexican literature. \u2013 <em>Amazon&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buy now!
