A collection of bizarre, surrealistic stories---ranging from the frightening to the thought-provoking to the absurd---written by a Cuban-American author. A teenage boy one day wakes up speaking another language, having forgotten his own. A mad dictator erects a wall around his island nation, effectively walling in the population. The dead come back to life and take up their old lives, much to everyone else's irritation. A group of Jews pay to have a faithful reenactment of a concentration camp. A misshapen skull is the basis of a cult in Florida and the Bahamas. These are some of the peculiar stories found in this volume.
