Battles in the Desert & Other Stories, a collection of short
fiction that deals mainly with themes of childhood and innocence
betrayed, is the first book of Pacheco's fiction to appear in
English. here there are no narrative arabesques, no flights of
magical-realist fancy. Instead, Pacheco confronts the reader with
the uglier sides of urban Mexico - its grime, its beggars, its
suffocating pollution, the constricted lives of its lower middle
class - all with a simplicity and directness of style impeccably
shaped and clearly distilled.
