Acerca del autor (2000)

Es quizá uno de los mejores cuentistas de Hispanoamérica. Su fantasía, ligada estrechamente al ambiente de la naturaleza tropical latinoamericana, le da un cariz impresionante que resalta a través de toda su obra. Sus cuentos responden a la técnica tradicional de su época o sea la tradición literaria que dominaba a principios del siglo xx.
