Nest in the Bones

Philosophically engaged and darkly moving the twenty stories in <i>Nest in the Bones</i> span three decades from Antonio di Benedetto's wildly various career. From his youth in Argentina to his exile in Spain after enduring imprisonment and torture under the military dictatorship during the so-called dirty war to his return in the 1980s Benedetto's kinetic stories move effortlessly between genres examining civilization's subtle but violent imprint on human consciousness. A late-twentieth century master of the short form and revered by his contemporaries <i>Nest in the Bones </i>is the first comprehensive volume of Benedetto's stories available in English.
