"It is Gonzalez's insights into this world that have made this work
a minor classic for half a century in Mexico . . . This slim but
facinating volume sheds a good deal of light, in absorbing detail,
on the lives of remote Mexican tribes, many of which are on the
verge of extinction." Publishers Weekly"
"Short story lovers will applaud this graceful English translation
. . . by a remarkably talented Mexican fiction writer (1904-1951)
whose anthropological fieldwork among Indian villages in remote
locations was reflected in his intense stories . . . The triumphs
and disasters of otherwise unimportant people are the themes Rojas
Gonzalez sympathetically explores. He writes about noble souls, in
exquisitely precise prose." Booklist"
