Synopsis
"Striking collaboration between Galeano's tales rooted in the oral tradition and Brazilian artist Josâe Francisco Borges' woodcuts in the cordel tradition is given a rich third dimension by Fried's imaginative translation of Palabras andantes. Readers will have to look elsewhere for introductory material, but in effect the book introduces and explains itself"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.

Industry Reviews
"It's oddly Rabelaisian, with a Kurtness of Vonnegut--as if magic tricks and peasant cunning were still capable of subverting the greedhead warlocks and the banal surfeit and oppressive patterning of the admass media/consumer grid."
Nation - John Leonard (06/26/1995)
"Readers who love Mr. Galeano's work will be as delighted with 'Walking Words' as they have been with his previous books. In the preface to 'Memory of Fire', he tells us that he is 'a writer who would like to contribute to the rescue of the kidnapped memory of all America, but above all of Latin America, that despised and beloved land; I would like to talk to her, share her secrets, ask her of what difficult clays she was born, from what acts of love and violation she comes.' All this Eduardo Galeano has done--and continues to do--with artistry and passionate commitment."
New York Times Book Review - Louis de Bernieres (07/16/1995)
