In this scintillating collection of stories Puerto Rican writer Ana Lydia Vega exposes machismo, Caribbean style. With deft pastiches of genre fiction-the thriller, the historical romance, the bodice ripper-she turns the traditions of Latin American fiction on their head and produces a work that critically reflects the influence of US culture.

It showcases one of the provocative 'post-feminist' voices of the Continent.
