But Anderson-Imbert is also a noted creative writer, whose use of \"magical realism\" helped pave the way for such writers as Borges, Cortázar, Sábato, and Ocampo. In this anthology, Carleton Vail and Pamela Edwards-Mondragón 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 Julián, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarleton Vail is an independent scholar and translator.
