Original title: Points of departure

Translated by Gustavo V. Segade earliest edition we have, 2001 City Lights Books, 2001 paperback 184 pages

Seventeen short stories by contemporary Mexican authors born in the '50s and '60s, all well-established writers in the prime of their careers. Some have already achieved critical acclaim in the U.S., but many of these prize-winning authors who are quite popular in the Spanish-speaking world have never before been published in English.
