“Only for smokers” by Julio Ramón Ribeyro

“As the Peruvian writer Bryce Echenique affirms, a profound connoisseur of his work, Julio Ramón Ribeyro (1929-1994) is one of the best narrators in Latin America: «…I only want to mention three nouvelles or short novels —At the foot of the cliff, Silvio en el rosedal and the highly autobiographical Solo para fumars—as examples of the unparalleled quality of Ribeyro's narrative. Written many years apart, these three stories would be enough to place their author among the greatest exponents of short fiction in the Western world.»”
