Book Description:
In Barcelona, an aging Brazilian prostitute trains her dog to weep at the grave she has chosen for herself. In Vienna, a woman parlays her gift for seeing the future into a fortunetelling position with a wealthy family. In Geneva, an ambulance driver and his wife take in the lonely, apparently dying ex-President of a Caribbean country, only to discover that his political ambition is very much intact.
In these twelve masterly stories about the lives of Latin Americans in Europe, GarcÃa Márquez conveys the peculiar amalgam of melancholy, tenacity, sorrow, and aspiration that is the émigré experience.

Tana P. (Another great book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, author of Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude.
I am a big fan of García Márquez, and by far this collection of stories is my favorite of all his works. A favorite is "I Only Came to Use the Phone," very creepy!
