But Anderson-Imbert is also a noted creative writer, whose use of \"magical realism\" helped pave the way for such writers as Borges, Cort痙ar, S畸ato, and Ocampo. In this anthology, Carleton Vail and Pamela Edwards-Mondrag have chosen stories from the period 1965 to 1985 to introduce English-speaking readers to the creative work of Enrique Anderson-Imbert. Representative stories from the collections The Cheshire Cat, The Swindler Retires, Madness Plays at Chess, Klein's Bottle, Two Women and One Juli疣, and The Size of the Witches illustrate Anderson-Imbert's unique style and world view. Many are \"short short\" stories, which Anderson-Imbert calls casos (instances). The range of subjects and points of view varies widely, challenging such \"realities\" as time and space, right and wrong, science and religion. In a prologue, Anderson-Imbert tells an imaginary reader, \"Each one of my stories is a closed entity, brief because it has caught a single spasm of life in a single leap of fantasy. Only a reading of all my stories will reveal my world-view.\" The reader asks, \"And are you sure that it is worth the trouble?\" Anderson-Imbert replies, \"No.\" The unexpected, ironic ending is one of the great pleasures of reading Enrique Anderson-Imbert.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Enrique Anderson-Imbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292790600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292790605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Enrique Anderson-Imbert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44634226098431,"sku":"9780292790605","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb54f583-bdc3-4c90-b3d6-fbc8b1480fc7.jpg?v=1703588201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/woven-on-the-loom-of-enrique-anderson-imbert-9780292790605","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
