Oblivion and Stone
A Selection of Contemporary Bolivian Poetry and Fiction

Selected and Edited by Sandra Reyes
Translated by John DuVal, Gastón Fernandez, Sandra Reyes, and Kay Pritchett

In a literature where recognition is hard earned, this anthology demonstrates what distinguishes contemporary Bolivian fiction and poetry from the rest of Latin American writing and shows clearly how Bolivian writers relate to that tradition. Editor Sandra Reyes has gathered a panoramic sampling of the work of twenty-three poets and eighteen fiction writers. Focusing predominantly on living, practicing writers, this anthology defines the current literary voice of Bolivia and gives us a diffusion of the contemporary Bolivian consciousness.
