«Este volumen contiene sesenta y cinco relatos escritos entre los años 1820 y 1999 por escritores nominalmente norteamericanos —es decir, escritores en posesión de la ciudadanía de los Estados Unidos— y pretende mostrar no sólo lo mejor de la cuentística estadounidense, sino también la diversidad y la riqueza continuada de la prosa norteamericana durante los últimos ciento setenta y cinco años… Me satisface que una selección de relatos tan diversamente elegidos defina el carácter norteamericano (además del carácter del relato de este país) tan bien, tan cabal y tan libremente como es debido.»
RICHARD FORD
«Para Ford, el cuento nos abre a la vida pero también la protege. Reinventa. Revalora. Admite lo que la convención rechaza. Es un vuelco del corazón. Es una epifanía instantánea. Y le da a la vida de cada lector lo que a cada lector le falta en la vida. Límites de pensamiento. Educación de los sentidos. Tales son las virtudes que la selección de Richard Ford trae a este volumen.»
