«Misa de gallo» is a collection of thirteen stories by Paul Bowles, published by Alfaguara in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together thirteen stories written between 1976 and 1981, including the novella «Aquí para aprender», about a young Moroccan woman «adopted» by wealthy Europeans. Most are set in Morocco, with a stop in Bangkok or Sri Lanka, and portray encounters between cultures that fail to understand each other, with a dry style that suggests latent violence.
Work originally published in English as «Midnight Mass and Other Stories» in 1981; this Spanish edition dates from 1997.
Aimed at readers of contemporary literary short fiction and followers of Paul Bowles.
Paul Frederic Bowles was an American composer, author, and translator. He became associated with the Moroccan city of Tangier, where he settled in 1947 and lived for 52 years to the end of his life.
