Seven stories and novellas by the author of Under the Volcano, a master of twentieth-century fiction. Â For fans of the novel Under the Volcano, this collection of storiesâmany of them published for the first time posthumouslyâprovides great insight into the authorâs genius. The stories range from heartfelt tragedy to exuberant triumph. In the novella âThrough the Panama,â a burned-out, alcoholic writer tries to make sense of the literature that has kept him afloat while the pulse of his life grows harder to distinguish. In âThe Forest Path to Spring,â a couple that has survived hell finds new life in the seclusion of a vast forest. And in âThe Bravest Boat,â a young boy sends a message across the ocean to an unknown recipient.
