Tales of Love, Madness and Death
Horacio Quiroga
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.
