Argentinian scholar and writer Enrique AndersonImbert is familiar to many North American students for his La Literatura de Amrica Latina I and II, which are widely used in college Spanish courses. But AndersonImbert is also a noted creative writer, whose use of 'magical realism' helped pave the way for such writers as Borges, Cortzar, Sbato, and Ocampo. In this anthology, Carleton Vail and Pamela EdwardsMondragn have chosen stories from the period 1965 to 1985 to introduce Englishspeaking readers to the creative work of Enrique AndersonImbert. Representative stories from the collections The Cheshire Cat, The Swindler Retires, Madness Plays at Chess, Klein's Bottle, Two Women and One Julin, and The Size of the Witches illustrate AndersonImbert's unique style and world view. Many are 'short short' stories, which AndersonImbert 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, AndersonImbert 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 worldview.' The reader asks, 'And are you sure that it is worth the trouble?' AndersonImbert replies, 'No.' The unexpected, ironic ending is one of the great pleasures of reading Enrique AndersonImbert.
