Imagine Alice having tea with Borge's fantastic bestiary. Imagine Jonathan Swift and James Thurber exchanging notes. What if a frog from Caravelas County had really read Mark Twain? Augusto Monterroso has achieved this and more with "La oveja negra y demás fábulas".
Blurb in Spanish:
Sucintas, intensas, bellas, reveladoras, deslumbrantes, estas fábulas son una excelentísima muestra del mejor talento de uno de los grandes maestros del relato corto. Es como si cada historia estuviera contada en un gesto. No hay exceso ni demasía. Hay pulso y sobre todo la fuerza de una creación que irrumpe y transforma.
