Now for the first time, these stories, representing thirty years of Anaya's writing, have been collected into a single volume. They constitute the best and most essential collection of Anaya's short story work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike his novels, which range broadly over the American tapestry, Anaya's short stories focus on character and ethical questions in a regional setting--from the harsh deserts of the American Southwest and northern Mexico to the lush tropical forests of Uxmal in the Yucat n. These tales demonstrate Anaya's singular attitude toward fiction: that stories create myths to live and love by. \"In the end the story has to speak for itself,\" Anaya writes. \"Its purpose can be studied, but never fully known.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Could Fly and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, the reader ventures deeply into the world of Rudolfo Anaya, a world of magic, mystery, harsh realities, and redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolfo Anaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080616753X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806167534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Rudolfo Anaya","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990822912255,"sku":"9780806167534","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a56cf14-751e-4fc0-8f79-6fb1c92fbc61.jpg?v=1683306892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-man-who-could-fly-rudulfo-anaya-9780806167534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
