{"product_id":"9780292790605","title":"Woven on the Loom of Time : Stories by Enrique Anderson-Imbert (Texas Pan American Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eArgentinian scholar and writer Enrique Anderson-Imbert is familiar to many North American students for his La Literatura de América Latina I and II, which are widely used in college Spanish courses. But Anderson-Imbert is also a noted creative writer, whose use of \"magical realism\" helped pave the way for such writers as Borges, Cortázar, Sábato, and Ocampo. In this anthology, Carleton Vail and Pamela Edwards-Mondragón have chosen stories from the period 1965 to 1985 to introduce English-speaking readers to the creative work of Enrique Anderson-Imbert. Representative stories from the collections The Cheshire Cat, The Swindler Retires, Madness Plays at Chess, Klein's Bottle, Two Women and One Julián, and The Size of the Witches illustrate Anderson-Imbert's unique style and world view. Many are \"short short\" stories, which Anderson-Imbert calls casos (instances). The range of subjects and points of view varies widely, challenging such \"realities\" as time and space, right and wrong, science and religion. In a prologue, Anderson-Imbert tells an imaginary reader, \"Each one of my stories is a closed entity, brief because it has caught a single spasm of life in a single leap of fantasy. Only a reading of all my stories will reveal my world-view.\" The reader asks, \"And are you sure that it is worth the trouble?\" Anderson-Imbert replies, \"No.\" The unexpected, ironic ending is one of the great pleasures of reading Enrique Anderson-Imbert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45377253015631,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":698.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9780292790605-1.jpg?v=1784961621","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9780292790605","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
