The Wordsmith

True to the rich traditions of the great Hispanic and Latino works of narrative, The Wordsmith deals in worlds of magical realism, of practical philosophy and historical anecdotes. Edgar Smith offers us these works in English, translated by himself from his native language: Spanish, and as one reads, both the poetry and spice of the writer's roots immediately rise up to the reader, delicate and mighty, as if a scent. Evocative and thought-provoking, The Wordsmith is a collection of stories both unconventional and irresistible, both gripping and poetic.
