Several novels by Guatemalan author Rey Rosa have been translated by Paul Bowles, with whom he studied; eventually, Rey Rosa became executor of Bowles's estate. So the immediacy and closely observed detail displayed in this brief but mesmerizing study of a bookseller who tracks a sultry, dark-haired book thief is perfectly fitting. Rippling with suspense, pasión, and finally a measure of understanding.
