Book Description
In the Land of the Hustlers, Caudillos, and Charlatans is a collection of short stories based on actual events, historical figures, and personalities that illustrate the colorful culture and unforgettable landscape that surrounds The Dominican Republic. In his second work of fiction, Luis Reynoso shares his talent for creating an eclectic group of characters that each shares a compelling story.

In another story, Amado Pueblas stares into a bottle of rum while facing a cancer diagnosis and realizes he is destined to become the thing he fears the most.

In this eclectic collection, Luis Reynoso speaks with an original voice through each tale that will prove endearing to all who love a short story.
