Description: "Ruben Palma was forced to leave his native Chile after the Pinochet coup d'etat in 1973 and went into exile in Denmark. In 2001 he wrote this collection of stories in Danish. No one has captured the impact of culture shock in quite so vivid a fashion, with such compelling characters or with such a range of tone. Palma is equally at home in hard-hitting unsentimental drama and in the comic and satirical."--BOOK JACKET.
