Recensioner i media

A remarkable collection which attests not only to the brilliance of the short story from around the world, but to the skill of translators in bringing them to us. -- George Plimpton This collection of stories - long overdue - is a delightful and entertaining anthology of tales, culled from the works of some of the finest international authors writing today. Mr. Burgess' elegant and provocative preface, and such works by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, and Ingeborg Bachmann will remind the reader of what literature should do - enchant. -- Oscar Hijuelos
