Piano Stories presents fifteen wonderful works by the great Uruguayan author Felisberto Hernández, "a writer like no other, " as Italo Calvino declares in his introduction: "like no European or Latin American. He is an 'irregular, ' who eludes all classifications and labellings - yet he is unmistakable on any page to which one might randomly open one of his books." Piano Stories contains classic tales such as "The Daisy Dolls, " "The Usher, " and "The Flooded House.
