Synopsis: Seven stories and novellas by the author of Under the Volcano, a master of twentieth-century fiction. For fans of the novel Under the Volcano, this collection of stories—many of them published for the first time posthumously—provides great insight into the author&’s genius. The stories range from heartfelt tragedy to exuberant triumph. In the novella &“Through the Panama,&” a burned-out, alcoholic writer tries to make sense of the literature that has kept him afloat while the pulse of his life grows harder to distinguish. In &“The Forest Path to Spring,&” a couple that has survived hell finds new life in the seclusion of a vast forest. And in &“The Bravest Boat,&” a young boy sends a message across the ocean to an unknown recipient. Together, these stories reveal a writer who traveled widely, observed keenly, and maintained an engrossing literary style that still reverberates today.
