The town tells its own story against a variegated background of political change, religious persecution, and social unrest. Elena Garro, who has also won a high reputation as a playwright, is a masterly storyteller. Although her plot is dramatically intense and suspenseful, the novel does not depend for its effectiveness on narrative continuity. It is a book of episodes, one that leaves the reader with a series of vivid impressions. The colors are bright, the smells pungent, the many characters clearly drawn in a few bold strokes. Octavio Paz, the distinguished poet and critic, has written that it \"is truly an extraordinnary work, one of the most perfect creations in contemporary Latin American literature.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735697588512,"sku":"NEW0292770065","price":39.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Rrl0VdYcL.jpg?v=1779492665","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/recollections-of-things-to-come-texas-pan-american-series-0292770065","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
