No One Writes to the Colonel, and Other Stories
Written with compassionate realism and wit, the stories in this mesmerizing collection depict the disparities of town and village life in South America, of the frightfully poor and outrageously rich, of memories and illusions, and of lost opportunities and present joys.— Google Books
Contains the title novella (first published 1958) and all the short stories from "Los Funerales de la Mama Grande" (1962).
