Reflecting the variety of modern Spanish literature, these stories range from the sharp insights of Gabriel García Marquez's " María dos Prazeres" to Isabel Allende's powerful evocation of the oral traditions of the Amerindian " Walimai," the deceptive simplicity of Javier Marías's " On the Honeymoon," and the philosophical speculation of Laura Freixas's " Absurd Ending."
