Now for the first time, these stories, representing thirty years of Anaya's writing, have been collected into a single volume. They constitute the best and most essential collection of Anaya's short story work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike his novels, which range broadly over the American tapestry, Anaya's short stories focus on character and ethical questions in a regional setting--from the harsh deserts of the American Southwest and northern Mexico to the lush tropical forests of Uxmal in the Yucat n. These tales demonstrate Anaya's singular attitude toward fiction: that stories create myths to live and love by. \"In the end the story has to speak for itself,\" Anaya writes. \"Its purpose can be studied, but never fully known.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Could Fly and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, the reader ventures deeply into the world of Rudolfo Anaya, a world of magic, mystery, harsh realities, and redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Oklahoma Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780806167534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.50d","brand":"Rudolfo Anaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643977035932,"sku":"9780806167534","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fe797f88-5392-4497-b165-acf249427cb7.jpg?v=1603857665","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-man-who-could-fly-and-other-stories-volume-5-9780806167534","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
