Biographical note

Horacio Silvestre Quiroga Forteza (1878–1937) was a Uruguayan writer and poet who gained notoriety through short stories depicting the tragedy of survival, mental illness and the destruction of wild, untamed nature. As a short-story writer, his tales are considered wildly avant-garde, and his work is thought to have been influential in inspiring such celebrated writers as Gabriel García Márquez. Diego Jourdan Pereira writes, illustrates and packages trade books for general audiences – including story books for young readers, adult colouring books and puzzle books for seniors – while also translating Spanish-language classics into English, including Horacio Quiroga’s Tales of Love, Madness and Death.

'Quiroga's stories are, like Poe's, full of psychological shocks and eerie effects, and are bracingly, if ruthlessly, realistic.'

- John Updike, New Yorker

An extraordinary writer whose work has long been woefully neglected in English translation, Quiroga's tales – and the life of the writer behind them – are a fever dream of morbidity and horror. Frequently compared to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, this avant-garde collection is staggeringly modern in its content, and is suffused with the themes and settings of his later works. Quiroga's first published short-story collection, Tales of Love, Madness and Death is presented here in a brand-new translation, and also includes his lauded tongue-in-cheek 'Ten Commandments for Short-Story Writers', readying some of the great writer's finest work for a new generation of readers.
