However, most of the stories in this collection were very good, thought-provoking, and a great learning tool. I actually didn't like the two stories by authors I had heard of Isabel Allende's story wasn't very interesting, and Marquez's was confusing. "On the Honeymoon", described as "deceptively simple" was just that, and more. In it, a group of people are waiting for a famous writer to show up so that they can talk to him.
It was a rather typical way of showing how waiting and impatience and strife brings out the worst in people, people's true natures. The first story, "Eva's Indifference", wasn't great, but I did definitely enjoy the predictable but interesting "Literary Tea Party". The only two writers I had heard of were Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The stories are from a variety of different types of modern Spanish literature, and I really enjoyed them. At a later date, I'll probably go through with an intent to learning Spanish, but this time, I just read the stories in English and enjoyed them. It's a great book for Spanish students, offering the Spanish on the left and the English on the right.
