A manufactured and pre-programmed serial killer; a suicidal robot;
a romantic necrophiliac; and an archaeologist who feeds the
perverse desires of aficionados of the apocalypse-Francisco Garcia
Gonzalez's stories map out literary and metafictional approaches to
the sci-fi universe in ways that echo the humor and violence of
Miguel de Cervantes, Maria de Zayas, Jorge Luis Borges, Rosa
Montero, and Roberto BolaNo. With a scholarly introduction by
translator Bradley J. Nelson that introduces Garcia Gonzalez's
oeuvre to contemporary readers and scholars of Spanish-language
literature, this science fiction collection introduces Anglophones
to this unique author. Garcia Gonzalez turns a black mirror on
contemporary society and its relation both to history and to the
future. His insightfulness and relevance draw comparisons with
Margaret Atwood, Neal Stephenson, and China Mieville, though his
verbal economy and elegance are more akin to Cormac McCarthy,
producing both disturbingly uncanny violence and unexpected comedy.
