About this listen

The internationally acclaimed last work by the legendary Latin American writer Master storyteller Eduardo Galeano was unique among his contemporaries (Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mario Vargas Llosa among them) for his commitment to retelling our many histories, including the stories of those who were disenfranchised. A philosopher poet, his nonfiction is infused with such passion and imagination that it matches the intensity and the appeal of Latin America's very best fiction.

Comprising all new material, published here for the first time in a wonderful English translation by longtime collaborator Mark Fried, Hunter of Stories is a deeply considered collection of Galeano's final musings and stories on history, memory, humor, and tragedy.

Written in his signature style - vignettes that fluidly combine dialogue, fables, and anecdotes - every minute displays the original thinking and compassion that has earned Galeano decades and continents of renown.

What the critics say

"A fitting final flourish for a literary giant of the Latin American left." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Meticulously sculpted...with the lively and inimitable voice of a passionate rebel and storyteller.... With a keen sense for ironic reversals and equal measures of sly humor, empathy, anguish, and hope, this compendium of bite-size stories of resistance (elegantly translated by longtime collaborator Fried) is a worthy addition to the celebrated oeuvre of a writer who remains a towering figure both as an artist and a voice of conscience across Latin America and the world." (Publishers Weekly)

"Galeano was a master of the shattered story. He had a way of making realism magical without being a magical realist. This book is yet another demonstration of his brilliance." (Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things)
