"the burning plain and other stories (el llano en llamas) is one of the two works juan rulfo published in his lifetime (the short novel pedro páramo being the other). while hardly prolific, the mexican author is widely considered one of latin america's most influential writers. the fifteen stories contained in this collection are all rather harsh and merciless, much like the landscape rulfo knew so well. set around the time of the mexican revolution, these tales convey everyday rural hardships, many of which deal with poverty and death. written in a prosaic style and lacking the stylistic richness of the magical realism he is credited with inspiring, the burning plain is an unidealized portrait of life's adversities."
