In Barcelona, an aging Brazilian prostitute trains her dog to weep
at the grave she has chosen for herself. In Vienna, a woman parlays
her gift for seeing the future into a fortunetelling position with
a wealthy family. In Geneva, an ambulance driver and his wife take
in the lonely, apparently dying ex-President of a Caribbean
country, only to discover that his political ambition is very much
intact.
In these twelve masterly stories about the lives of Latin Americans
in Europe, Garcia Marquez conveys the peculiar amalgam of
melancholy, tenacity, sorrow, and aspiration that is the emigre
experience.
