Surreal, poetic, naturalistic, urbane, peasant-born: All styles intersect and play, often within a single piece. There is \"The Handsomest Drown Man in the World,\" the García Márquez fable of a village overcome by the power of human beauty; \"The Aleph,\" Borges' classic tale of a man who discovers, in a colleague's cellar, the Universe. Here is the haunting shades of Juan Rulfo, the astonishing anxiety puzzles of Julio Cortázar, the disquieted domesticity of Clarice Lispector. Provocative, powerful, immensely engaging, \u003cb\u003eThe Vintage Book of Latin American Stories\u003c\/b\u003e showcases the ingenuity, diversity, and continuing excellence of a vast and vivid literary tradition.\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eThe Storyteller \u003cb\u003eCarlos Fuentes\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eJulio Ortega\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJorge Luis Borges\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Aleph \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFilisberto Hernández\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Balcony \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoão Guimarães Rosa\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Third Bank of the River \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eVirgi Lio Piñera\u003c\/b\u003e:   The One Who Came to Save Me \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuan Carlos Onetti\u003c\/b\u003e:   Hell Most Feared \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuan Rulfo\u003c\/b\u003e:   Luvina \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulio Cortázar\u003c\/b\u003e:   Blow-Up \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eClarice Lispector\u003c\/b\u003e:   Love \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJosé Donoso\u003c\/b\u003e:   Ana María \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel García Márquez\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalvador Garmendia\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Melancholic Pedestrian \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJulio Ramón Ribeyro\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Wardrobe, the Old Man and Death \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInés Arredondo\u003c\/b\u003e:   Subterranean River \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio Benítez Rojo\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Scissors \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlejandro Rossi\u003c\/b\u003e:   Orion’s Glow \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLuis Loayza\u003c\/b\u003e:   A New Man \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSergio Pitol Bukhara\u003c\/b\u003e:   Nocturne \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLuis Rafael Sánchez\u003c\/b\u003e:   Getting Even \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNélida Piñón\u003c\/b\u003e:   House of Passion \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLuisa Valenzuela\u003c\/b\u003e:   Panther Eyes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJosé Emilio Pacheco\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Queen \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlfredo Bryce Echenique\u003c\/b\u003e:   A Brief Reappearance by Florence, This Autumn \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJosé Balza\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Stroke of Midnight \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoacyr Scliar\u003c\/b\u003e:   Van Gogh’s Ear \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio Skármeta\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Cyclist of San Cristóbal Hill \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMario Levrero\u003c\/b\u003e:   Notes From Buenos Aires \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolicarpo Varón\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Feast \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRodolfo Hinostroza\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Benefactor \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSergio Ramírez\u003c\/b\u003e:   The Centerfielder \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaría Luisa Puga\u003c\/b\u003e:   Naturally \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHernán Lara Zavala\u003c\/b\u003e:   Mirror Images \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngeles Mastretta\u003c\/b\u003e:   \u003ci\u003efrom \u003c\/i\u003eBig-Eyed Women \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFernando Ampuero\u003c\/b\u003e:   \u003ci\u003eTaxi Driver, \u003c\/i\u003eMinus Robert De Niro \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSenel Paz\u003c\/b\u003e:   Don’t Tell Her You Love Her \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlberto Ruy Sánchez\u003c\/b\u003e:   Voices of the Water \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntonio López Ortega\u003c\/b\u003e:   \u003ci\u003efrom \u003c\/i\u003eNaturalezas Menores \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuan Villoro\u003c\/b\u003e:   Coyote \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRodrigo Fresán\u003c\/b\u003e:   National Sovereignty \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePablo Soler Frost\u003c\/b\u003e:   Clamour \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAuthor Biographies \u003cbr\u003eCopyright Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\"Each and every [story in] this collection is a treasure.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Latin American fiction is where serious debate can be found and, at its best, makes the contemporary English equivalent seem frivolous and lacking in courage.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London)Carlos Fuentes is the author of more than a dozen novels.
