Author Description

The Dinosaur is Still Here, the complete work of Augusto Monterroso, brings together for the first time in a single volume all the stories of the master of the micro-story, each one more brilliant, arranged chronologically: those collected in his first Complete Works (and Other Stories) (1959), in The Black Sheep and Other Fables (1962), Perpetual Motion (1972), The Rest is Silence (1978), Journey to the Center of the Fable (1981), The Magic Word (1983); The Letter E. Fragments of a Diary (1986), The Gold Diggers (1993), The Cow (1998), Birds of Latin America (2001), and Literature and Life (2003). A key book that recovers and vindicates the value of one of the best Spanish-speaking writers that the 20th century has given us. "His books must be read hands down: his danger is based on underhanded wisdom and the deadly beauty of lack of seriousness." Gabriel Garcia Marquez
