El apartamento y otros cuentos del exilio

"Three short stories and five shorter pieces make up what could have been a 'short story cycle,' i.e., a collection held together by a common theme or character. There is no index, and the only unifying thread appears to be the foibles of Central Americans exiled in Europe. This collection exhibits clichés about cultural misunderstanding, victimization, and resentment, especially during the 1970s and early 1980s"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
