"God has not yet created the world; he is only imagining it, as if he were half asleep. That is why the world is perfect, but confused,” is both the beginning and end of one of Augusto Monterroso’s stories. This author’s works are always short; they are subtly ironic more than humorous. Better known as Tito, Monterroso—a native of Guatemala—is the reason this literary genre predicated on brevity has achieved maturity in Spanish. A clean and pleasant read, and highly recommended.
