 Review: Angélica Gorodischer's Kalpa Imperial, reviewed by John Garrison
Fittingly, "kalpa" of the book's title is the Sanskrit word for a unit of time that comprises over four billion years.
In this first story, she introduces the reader to themes that will become very familiar by the end of the book: unlikely ascensions to power, new cities built on the ruins of others, and the colorful narration of the storyteller.
The reader becomes trained that when a seemingly inconsequential character appears in the beginning of a story, only to disappear when the "real" narrative gets underway, it's highly likely she or he will show up again to play a pivotal role in the story's climax.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Kalpa Imperial
Originally published in the author's native Argentina in 1983 as two separate volumes, this collection of loosely related stories translated from the original Spanish by Ursula K. Le Guin marks Angélica Gorodischer's first appearance in English, though she has 17 novels to her credit and evidently a considerable literary reputation.
If Kalpa Imperial is at all representative of her work, Gorodischer is a fabulist in the tradition of fellow Latin American Jorge Luis Borges.
Just as Cheever's Waspish suburbanites of 50s America realistically adhere to their milieu, so too does the disenfranchised son/daughter of the fabled good king strive to overcome the evildoers with the help of a rebel band of elves in a pre-defined, "realistic" role-playing way.
