giovannigf's review
3.0
With no other unifying theme than the writers being Latin American (that's 20 countries, FYI), this is a total grab-bag. As you'd expect, there are some big names (Borges, Garcia-Marquez, Lispector), a lot of not-so-big names, some realism, some magic realism, and even a (pretty bad) sci-fi story. Overall not bad, but the book would really have benefited from some structure and better author bios than the one- or two-sentence ones in the back.
