A manufactured and pre-programmed serial killer; a suicidalrobot; a romantic necrophiliac; and an archaeologist who feeds the perverse desires of aficionados of the apocalypse Francisco Garca Gonzalezs stories map out literary and metafictional approaches to the sci-fi universe in ways that echo the humor and violence of Miguel de Cervantes, Mara de Zayas, Jorge Luis Borges, Rosa Montero, and Roberto Bolao. With ascholarly introduction by translator Bradley J. Nelson thatintroduces Garca Gonzlezs oeuvre to contemporary readers and scholars of Spanish-language literature, this science fiction collectionintroduces Anglophones to this unique author. Garca Gonzlezturns a black mirroron contemporary society and its relation both to history and to the future. His insightfulness and relevance draw comparisons with Margaret Atwood, Neal Stephenson, and China Mieville, though his verbal economy and elegance are more akin to Cormac Mc Carthy, producing both disturbingly uncanny violence and unexpected comedy.
