This volume collects some of the best short fiction from the six
Spanish-speaking countries of Central America--Guatemala, Honduras,
El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. Selected from
stories written between 1963 and 1988, it is a broad representation
of active Central American writers.
Many of the stories are quite sophisticated and utilize elements
of the absurd or techniques of magical realism. Some stories deal
with war--the unending struggle against dictators and military
power that engrosses Central Americans. Others explore the realm of
the writer's imagination. Some of the writers included are Augusto
Monterroso (Guatemala), Carmen Naranjo and Samuel Rovinski (Costa
Rica), Rosa Maria Britton and Jaime Garcia Saucedo (Panama), and
Alfonso Quijada Urias (El Salvador).
