Sudden Fiction Latino: Short-Short Stories from the United States and Latin America

For readers who love great short-short stories, this bountiful anthology is the best of Latin American and U.S. Latino writers.
Following on the success of the Flash Fiction and Sudden Fiction series, Robert Shapard and James Thomas join with Ray Gonzalez in selecting works that each present a complete story in less than 1,500 words. Luisa Valenzuela, one of Latin Americaâ€™s most lauded writers, provides the introduction. Readers will delight in finding stars such as Junot DÃaz, Sandra Cisneros, and Roberto Bolano alongside recognized masters like Gabriel GarcÃa MÃ¡rquez, Isabel Allende, and Jorge Luis Borges. They will discover work from Andrea Saenz, Daniel AlarcÃ³n, and Alicita Rodriguez, as well as other writers on the rise.

In Julio Ortegaâ€™s â€œMigrations,â€ a Peruvian writer explores how immigrant speech and ethnic origins are a force of meaning that evolves beyond language. In â€œHair,â€ by Hilma Contreras, a Caribbean pharmacist is driven mad by a young womanâ€™s luxuriant tresses. These stories stretch from gritty reality to the fantastical in a mix that is moving, challenging, humorous, artful, sometimes political, and altogether spectacular.
