About this title: The stories in this collection are drawn from various collections published from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s in Spanish. It is aptly divided into two parts, "The Labyrinth of Love" which foregrounds the authors amatory tales, and "Adverse Miracles" which are admirable examples of Bioy Casares's canny metaphysical speculations and wry Magical Realism.
