Hunter of Stories

A fearless and poetic final work by a legendary Latin American writer that masterfully blends history, social commentary, and personal ruminations to capture a brilliant mind at work, and a region in constant flux "More generous, wise, and wonderful than I dared hope." — Naomi Klein, author of Doppelganger In Hunter of Stories, master storyteller Eduardo Galeano brings his signature style to the histories and political concerns that defined his career. In more than two-hundred vignettes, ranging from indigenous creation myths to personal reflections on mortality, Galeano captures how history, memory, and tragedy shaped the Latin American psyche. Comprised of 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. In these pages, the transformative nature of personal struggle sits alongside the immensity of colonialism and history. Ever the philosopher poet, Hunters of Stories brims with passion, imagination, and an irreverent belief in the power of storytelling. Every page displays the original thinking and compassion that cemented Galeano as one of Latin America’s most important and enduring voices.
