Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I love the Sudden Fiction series! Flash fiction is one of my favorite story styles, and Sudden Fiction Latino delivers tasty bite-sized morsels with sweetness and bite. I'm always in favor of reading more literature in translation, and here's hoping that this collection heralds a new onslaught of international flash fiction translated into English for U.S. release.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Sudden Fiction Latino was my first foray into the short-short story. Overall, it was a good experience, but a few of the stories really left you wanting more-which is part of the point, I suppose.
The collection is quite varied, ranging from the common to the surreal. The collection also is also broad in terms of the writers. Most readers will recognize a few names, but there are many new voices represented here too.
Because the stories are so short, it's a great book to have at hand for those times when you have a few minutes to spare for some pleasure reading and don't want to attempt a longer work in piecemeal fashion.… (altro)

This collection of short stories has many well-known authors. I was aware of a few and had read some of their previous material but what touched me was discovering voices and stories so similar to ones I've heard. Not only were there South American authors but some from the US as well. There were many that included that magical realism that I've grown accustomed to in Latin American novels as well as wistful anecdotes, or at least that was the vibe that I got with some of them.
I can't wait to dig deeper into the bibliography of some of the authors that I discovered with this book and hopefully the next person I share my copy with will find something they enjoy as well.… (altro)
