Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. It takes a while to get into this book of short (quite short) stories by Latin American writers. Their subject matter varies widely--from slice of life to horror to science fiction. Some suffer from being excerpts of novels. But each one takes us to a world a bit different, not just in form, but in outlook from our own (unless perhaps you are Latin American....) After a while, the clarity of the writing (and/or the excellent translations) begins to build up a bit of a spell that you just sink into and enjoy. Perhaps with a bit of alarm. ( )Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. This book is a great introduction to a variety of Latin American authors. The only problem I had with it was, they were not all fully completed short stories. Several were simply a handful of pages taken from a finished novel. I understand the purpose, but it is hard to invest time into something that is not published in its entirety. On the other hand, the completed short stories provided me with a list of several LA writers I look forward to exploring in the future. Kudos for the effort and wonderful writing! Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. For the most part, I enjoyed this anthology of work by some of Latin America's young (under forty) fiction writers. All but a couple of the authors were new to me. As with any such grouping, some of the stories and excerpts from novels were more to my liking than others. And I have to admit, there were a few I really just skimmed through. But there were also several that made me want to read more by those authors -- and for that I'm very grateful. Very rewarding introduction to some really intriguing voices. Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. A wonderful and varied anthology of current Latin American writing, with thirty-nine authors representing fifteen different countries. There wasn't a dud in the bunch. One of my best wins from the Early Reviewers program! Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. The reader should consider this book to be a literary journal. The editors present 39 young Latin American writers on the rise. This is a good way to become familiar with new writers who are establishing them selves in their literary careers.As with most collections there is a varied response. the writers that stood out for me were; Juan Pablo Roncone Samantha Schweblin Damian Gonzalez Gabriela Jauregui Valeria Luiselli Eduardo Plaza Liliana Colanzi Juan Esteban Constain Lolita Copacaban Carlos Fonseca Certainly an ample list that would make reading these selections worthwhile. For anyone with a strong interest in Latin American Literature this is a good way to become familiar with "new' voices. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
