Synopsis
The blight of political strife and social injustice color this richly textured short story collection about the passion and politics of civil war in El Salvador. The turmoil, intrigue and suffering have been captured and universalized in these beautifully wrought tales told from the perspective of the common man caught up in a confusing maelstrom. Not journalistic reportage but magic realism at its best, these tales are deceptively simple, linear and fresh.
