Guess Who Runs/ Adivina Quien Corre

Los doce cuentos de este libro fueron escritos em el curso de los últimos dieciocho años. Antes de su forma actual, cinco de ellos periodísticas y guiones de cine, y uno fue un serial de televisión. Otro lo conté hace quince años en una entrevista grabada , y el amigo a quien se lo conté lo trancribió y lo publicó, y ahora lo he vuelto a escribir a partir de esa versión. Ha sido uma rara experiencia creativa que merece ser explicada, aunque sea para que los niños que quieren ser escritores cuando sean grandes sepan desde ahora qué insaciable y abrasivo es el vicio de escribir.
