The Book of Embraces by Eduardo Galeano
Parable, paradox, anecdote, dream, and autobiography blend into an exuberant world view and affirmation of human possibility.
"[Galeano] is a dangerous radical storyteller, like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, like Isabel Allende, and like Pablo Neruda before them. . . The Book of Embraces is a mosaic, or Deigo Rivera mural in words." -- John Leonard - New York Newsday
"In The Book of Embraces, Galeano goes out on the tightrope and then levitates in the air above it. . . . [His] subject is nothing less that the variety of human life and love." -- Alan Ryan - Washington Post Book World

Eduardo Galeano (1940—2015) was the author of Open Veins of Latin America, Days and Nights of Love and War, The Book of Embraces, We Say No, and other works. Cedric Belfrage was an author, journalist, translator, and co-founder of the radical weekly newspaper the National Guardian.
