	Amazon.com: Complete Works: And Other Stories (Texas Pan American): Books: Augusto Monterroso,University of Texas ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Augusto Monterroso is widely known for short stories characterized by brilliant satire and wit.
		Monterroso is clearly one of the important figures in the development of modern and contemporary Latin-American fiction.
		Reminiscent of Borges, Monterroso is a master of the self-referential (art about art/books about books); his fictions abound with tales of writers (and other story-tellers), readers, reviewers, critics, researchers, musicians, artists and historical figures who may or may not be "real." Like his predecessors, Monterroso's fictions often challenge our assumptions about literature and its conventions.

	The Black Sheep - Augusto Monterroso
		Monterroso cuts the form down to its barest essence, revealing the complexity of the underlying morals that are usually foisted on a reader.
		Here as elsewhere Monterroso neatly turns expectations and conventional takes on a subject and turns them on their head, daring to suggest, for example, that Faith is not benign and that it can bring with it great and grave consequences.
		Clever, amusing, and thoughtful, with nary a wasted word, Monterroso's small pieces are weightier than many a full-sized novel.
