This anthology, carefully selected by Daniel Sada, gathers the most characteristic work of the Mexican writer Salvador Elizondo, introducing the reader into the fascinating world of a novelist considered a “writers’ writer” by many critics.
Following the publication in 1965 of his first novel Farabeuf —now an indispensable classic— Elizondo explored a wide range of narrative possibilities, developing his experimental and obsessive creation to extremes beyond which it would seem impossible to go. A voracious reader, with wide learning and an exuberant imagination, he has produced novels and stories of humor, concision, and matchless verbal invention.
