«La Enciclopedia de los muertos» is the short story collection by Danilo Kiš, published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (202 pages, in Spanish).
Stories that move through dreamlike and historical territories: a false prophet, a mirror that reveals destinies, the death of a prostitute, and an imaginary encyclopedia that records all the deceased since 1789. Kiš blends love, death, truth and lies, document and fiction, with a tone ranging from epic to grotesque.
Number 170 in the Modernos y Clásicos collection. Final work by Danilo Kiš, originally published as «Enciklopedija mrtvih» in Serbo-Croatian in 1983.
For readers of short fiction and literary fiction, especially those seeking Central European authors of the twentieth century.
Danilo Kiš was a Yugoslav and Serbian novelist, short story writer, essayist and translator. His best known works include Hourglass, A Tomb for Boris Davidovich and The Encyclopedia of the Dead.
