The internationally acclaimed last work by the legendary Latin
American writer
Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries
(Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his
commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of
those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is
infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity
and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction.
Comprised of all new material, published here for the first time in a
wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried,
Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final
musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy. Written in
his signature style -- vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables,
and anecdotes -- every page displays the original thinking and
compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown.
