Ballad Of Another Time

"A haunting, almost uncanny tale of love and honor in which the three main characters move through a world of secret passions and silences. . . . [Set in Puerto Rico], scenes of impoverished farmers, madwomen, and men in coffee shops and cafes combine to form a blend of voices and landscapes whose essence can be distilled into three words: tobacco, coffee, and sugar. . . . Asa Zatz must be praised for bringing into his English version the beauty and melody of [Gonzalez's] Spanish original."Marjorie Agosin, New York Times Book ReviewGonzalez, Jose Luis is the author of 'Ballad Of Another Time', published 2005 under ISBN 9780299206949 and ISBN 0299206947.
