Tales of Love, Madness and Death - Horacio Quiroga

An extraordinary writer whose work has long been woefully neglected in English translation, Quiroga''s tales – and the life of the writer behind them – are a fever dream of morbidity and horror. Frequently compared to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, this avant-garde collection is staggeringly modern in its content, and is suffused with the themes and settings of his later works.Quiroga''s first published short-story collection, Tales of Love, Madness and Death is presented here in a brand-new translation, and also includes his lauded tongue-in-cheek ''Ten Commandments for Short-Story Writers'', readying some of the great writer''s finest work for a new generation of readers.
