Eyes of a blue dog

About this book

These stories, set in the fabulous and tormented inner world of their protagonists, are a distorted yet believable reflection of reality. All the hostility of the tropics, the drought, the heat, the torrential rains—in short, death—is reworked in the consciousness of the pathetic and austere creatures that inhabit this landscape and elevated to a level of exquisite literary perfection. The stories in this selection also constitute the first, nebulous yet undeniably present, glimpse into the mythical world of the famous town that appears in 'Monologue of Isabel in Macondo'.
