5.0 out of 5 stars
The Baedeker of 20th-century Chilean Literature, July 23, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Chile: A Traveler's Literary Companion (Traveler's Literary Companions) (Paperback)
Blessings on the heads of the Traveler's Literary Companions folks, who figured out a magical formula: travelers like to read, and reading infinitely enhances the experience of a trip. This small, packable volume collects stories by Chilean writers and arranges them geographically from Antofagasta to Punta Arenas, in the process revealing much of Chile's mood, culture, and geography.

4.0 out of 5 stars
interesting book, July 13, 2008
This review is from: Chile: A Traveler's Literary Companion (Traveler's Literary Companions) (Paperback)
Since it is short stories you can have it in the car or whatever and pick it up at odd moments. Enjoyed all the stories so far and the cultural differences are of interest while not massively jarring. But then people seem to always be people don't they? Buy and enjoy this if you like character study with interesting culture and geography.
