Points of Departure brings together seventeen Mexican authors born in the 1950s and 1960s, most of whom had never before been published in English.Magical realism and exoticism are nowhere to be found in this collection of sophisticated, very contemporary stories. Rather, the surreal contradictions and juxtapositions of daily life in Mexico are a permeating presence. A sharp sense of irony, incongruity and hilarity pervades many of the scenarios offered here, along with an acidtongued fatalism in the face of a reality where poverty, lawlessness and urban decay coexist alongside innocent dreams of love.By Bernardo Ruz, Josefina Estrada, Rafael Prez Gay, Humberto Rivas, Daniel Sada, Rosa Beltrn, David Toscana, Juan Villoro, Mnica Lavn, Juvenal Acosta, lvaro Uribe, Rosina Conde, Eduardo Antonio Parra, Mauricio Montiel, Ethel Krauze, Enrique Serna, Francisco Hinojosa'A satisfying collection of 17 short stories by as many writers, all born in the 1950s and 1960s. . . .
