Ballad
of Another Time Winner of the Mexican literary prizes, the Premio Xavier Villaurrutia and the Premio Magda Donato “A haunting, almost uncanny tale of
love and honor in which the . . . characters move through a world
of secret passions and silences. . . . [Set in Puerto Rico],
scenes of impoverished farmers, madwomen, and men in coffee shops
and cafes combine to form a blend of voices and landscapes whose
essence can be distilled into three words: tobacco, coffee, and
sugar” José Luis González (1926–1996) was born in the Dominican Republic and lived in Puerto Rico and Mexico. His novels, short stories, and essays have been widely translated and anthologized.
