“Tales” Noted in The New Yorker!

"In this début novel, guerrillas forcibly recruit all the men in a Colombian village. Lacking their fathers, husbands, lovers, and sons, the women eventually create a model society, with communal property, nudity, and lesbianism. At one point, the older women debate the wisdom of a breeding program to create more men: “Didn’t they remember those creatures with broad-brimmed sombreros that would go drinking rather than stay home nursing a sick son?” The premise is half poignant, half hokey, but Cañón’s strong and simple writing, which is touched by humor and magic realism, never falters, as when he describes the town’s using cornbread arepas as communion wafers, “sometimes sweet, sometimes salty, and, when available, flavored with cheese.”
