Donde vuela el camaleón

Originally published in 1996 and unpublished in Spain until now, this beautiful book by Ida Vitale, located halfway between prose and poetry, brings together stories, fables and allegories that make up a kind of human bestiary in which the Uruguayan Cervantes Prize winner It revisits some classic myths and makes room for Borgesian fantasy. With formal perfection, an intelligent use of irony and a masterful use of all the expressive possibilities of our language, the author dazzles once again with these disturbing stories about beauty, pain, mystery and the profound question of existence. Where the chameleon flies is, ultimately, a small gem that amalgamates not only a poetic, but a way of seeing life.
