Book Description / Descripción del libro

"Julia/Cuentos de invierno" is a beautiful and provocative collection of narrative. The short story “Julia” imagines the last days of one of Latin America’s greatest poets, Julia de Burgos. The stories in “Cuentos de invierno” include “Funes y Funes”, a counterfactual encounter between baroque characters of two world-renowned Latin American writers, Horacio Quiroga and Jorge Luis Borges. With powerful writing, the author explores themes of sexuality, exile, nostalgia, and death, with haunting characters and unforgettable narrative.

This book will be of great interest to anyone interested in Spanish-language literature. It is a stunning, poignant and stimulating work of fiction.
