This is truly the best from the best of Spanish literary short stories.
Obviously, I feel incredibly connected to the ones which were written originally in Galician, and Cunqueiro's might have been my favourite one. An excellent selection, beautifully translated. I would recommend it whole-heartedly. Plus I like the cover and its colourful design. Plus there are loads of pages and short stories for your money.
