The Oxford Book of Latin American Short Stories is a superb collection, brilliantly edited by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria. His introductions are enlightening and informative; the stories themselves, whether Hispanic American or Brazilian, are always of high aesthetic merit, covering the entire range from Borges to Arenas.

This is a superb collection of stories, excellently edited and valuable in its own right as well as being an introduction to the riches of the Latin-American novel.

All the material here is extraordinarily vivid and full of life. Even the gritty tales of urban poverty - and there are only a couple among 52 stories - have a dreamlike quality to them.
