The recently late Mexican writer Jesús Gardea (1939-2000) stands out in the panorama of Mexican letters by his idiosyncratic use of the Spanish language, by means of which he creates a self-contained universe developed in the course of several novels. Following the trail blazed by Guimaraes Rosa and Lezama Lima, Gardea, in the short stories collected in this volume, concentrates the essential traits of the narrator's craft, striking a balance between the most rigorous control of language and the greatest of imaginative liberties.
