Piano Stories presents fifteen wonderful works by the great Uruguayan author Felisberto Hernandez, "a writer like no other," as Italo Calvino declares in his introduction: "like no European or Latin American. He is an 'irregular, ' who eludes all classifications and labellings -- yet he is unmistakable on any page to which one might randomly open one of his books." Piano Stories contains classic tales such as "The Daisy Dolls," "The Usher," and "The Flooded House."

Industry Reviews

"Poetry that transforms the ordinary into the uncanny." -- Bookforum "Excellent ... miraculously alive ... wonderful." -- Michael Pye - The New York Times Book Review "A vision of such startling beauty that it flares up like an old-fashioned phosphorous match and illuminates our whole lives." -- Francine Prose "If I hadn't read the stories of Felisberto Hernandez in 1950, I wouldn't be the writer I am today." -- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
