Book Reviews of Stories from Latin America : Historias de Latinoamerica
Book Review: Review Of Genevieve Barlow's 'Historias De Latinoamerica'
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this billingual collection of stories more readable and more enjoyable than comparable books. I place this book side-by-side with those of Angel Flores, who's stories are more varied in length and style, and who uses more unfamiliar words. Barlow's collection required few turns of the head to the English side; it clearly used certain verbs knowing how similar they were to English verbs. After my experience with both editors, I recommend Barlow over Flores.
What Barlow lacks is a collection small reading tests at the back of the book, which Flores included in the "First Spanish Reader." For readers interested in this feature, Flores is the editor for you.
Also, I sympathize with another reviewer by stating that there is an odd presence of Mexican stories in this work. Barlow has already written a collection of Mexican stories--why are four in this work also from Mexico? Why not look elsewhere?
