ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Never before published in Spain, a literary gem by one of the most renowned writers in Spanish literature, recipient of the Cervantes, FIL Guadalajara, and Reina Sof a prizes.

"It is at the same time intellectual and popular, universal and personal, clear and deep. An essential reference to poets of all generations, in every Spanish-speaking corner of the world." --Statement of the Cervantes Prize jury

First published in 1996 and unpublished in Spain until now, this beautiful book by Ida Vitale, halfway between prose and poetry, has short stories, fables, and allegories composing a sort of human bestiary in which the Uruguayan author, awarded the Cervantes Prize, revisits some of the classic myths and gives room to fantasy with a Borgesian air.

With formal perfection, a smart use of irony, and a masterful use of all expressive possibilities in the Spanish language, the author dazzles once again with these unsettling stories concerning beauty, pain, mystery, and the profound matter of existence. Where the Chameleon Flies definitely is a small gem that not only welds together a poetic work, but a way to look at life.
