{"product_id":"9780292770065","title":"Recollections of Things to Come (Texas Pan American Series)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable first novel depicts life in the small Mexican town of Ixtepec during the grim days of the Revolution. The town tells its own story against a variegated background of political change, religious persecution, and social unrest. Elena Garro, who has also won a high reputation as a playwright, is a masterly storyteller. Although her plot is dramatically intense and suspenseful, the novel does not depend for its effectiveness on narrative continuity. It is a book of episodes, one that leaves the reader with a series of vivid impressions. The colors are bright, the smells pungent, the many characters clearly drawn in a few bold strokes. Octavio Paz, the distinguished poet and critic, has written that it \"is truly an extraordinnary work, one of the most perfect creations in contemporary Latin American literature.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49687287890168,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":68.44,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780292770065-1.jpg?v=1783584769","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780292770065","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
