In this Traviesa anthology, Mexican writer Alberto Chimal selects four contemporary stories that explore the fantastic imagination. Readers travel to an ancient Sodom on the verge of destruction, to a 19th century England filled with robots and books, back and forth between the past and present of an imaginary Cuba, and through psychedelic gardens with hallucinating plants. Don't miss the curator's prologue and stories by Juan Jacinto Muñoz Rengel (Spain), Ana María Shua (Argentina), Yoss (Cuba), and Verónica Murguía (Mexico).
