Summary
Boris Maruna: Anthology of World Short Stories
"For a story to be short and to work, it must be a striking life experience and a lyrical experience at the same time, and there are few such stories today... If its final effect is not poetic, it does not work," said Maruna about the challenge of writing short stories. This collection includes his translations of stories (originally written in English and Spanish) that meet this criterion, and for the domestic context it is also important that many of the selected authors are almost or completely unknown here (Tomás Borrás, Robert M. Coates, Rafael Courtoisie, Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Mempo Giardinelli, Ben Hecht, Augusto Monterroso, Grace Paley, Ricardo Piglia, Dimas Lidio Pitty, Daniel Sueiro, Sonia Gonzalez Valdenegro, Alexander Woollcott...).
