The Oxford Book of Latin American Short Stories (Paperback, New edition)

The Oxford Book of Latin American Short Stories is the only anthology of its kind to include texts from the colonial period and to encompass both Spanish American and Brazilian authors. The anthology makes available to English-language readers an extensive sampling of Latin America's most celebrated authors, such as Quiroga, Borges, Carpentier, Garcia Marquez, Fuentes, Guimaraes Rosa, and Asturias, as well as lesser-known but superb writers such as Clarice Lispector, Calvert Casey, and Maria Luisa Bombal, with many selections in English translation for the first time.
