VakıfBank Kültür Yayınları published Augusto Monterroso’s “The Black Skeep and Other Fables”.
Succinct, intense, beautiful, revealing, dazzling, these fables are an excellent sample of the best talent of one of the great masters of the short story. It is as if each story is told in one gesture. There is neither excess nor too much. There is a pulse and above all the force of a creation that breaks out and transforms. Augusto Monterroso is one of the great Latin American writers of our time, who manages to seduce us, from beginning to end, with his fast and pleasant prose.
