«Aquí descansa Nevares i altres narracions mexicanes» is Pere Calders' short story collection published by Educaula in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
The title story and the Mexican-set narratives move away from Pere Calders' usual fantastical vein. The Mexican indigenous characters, turned into stereotypes, sustain an ironic gaze in which the unusual and magic are an inseparable part of life.
Volume 51 of the Educació 62 collection. The edition includes a preliminary study, work proposals, and a text commentary by Neus Cunill.
Recommended for ages 14 and up, especially for readers of 20th-century Catalan narrative.
