Shyam cannot guess that an unusual verbal surprise awaits him. Riks, the perpetual defendant of Riks, is, we learn, vulnerable to questionable company, which causes the narrator to observe, That alone is not so bad, but if youOCOre in the wrong social class itOCOll ruin you.OCO For an author bio and photo, reviews, and a reading sample, visit bosonbooks.com."

Two Stories
Author: Osvaldo Lamborghini
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781734976632
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
Fiction. Translated by Jessica Sequera. The writing of the late Osvaldo Lamborghini (1940--1985) resists almost any attempt to characterize, let alone summarize. An iconoclastic figure of the Latin American literary milieu of the mid-to-late twentieth century, Lamborghini melded the baroque and the low-brow to often outrageous effect (Bolaño said he could only read a few pages of him at once). Rendered into English for the first time here are two long short stories, The Morning and Just Write Anything!, an accurate sample of his work in much the same way that a bucket of seawater is an accurate sample of the ocean.
