- Summary
- "Wonderful translation of Chilean writer's Gente al acecho (1992) comprised of 15 stories and an author's epilogue. Varied themes are neo-Borgesian in cosmopolitan historical and intellectual content, but richer in humor. Tagle's mastery of the text is evident in her engaging work. Cover biography; no further supporting material"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
