Scored at the library resale shop for a quarter ...

Rulfo, Juan.  Pedro Páramo: A Novel of Mexico.
   Trans. Lysander Kemp.  New York: Grove, 1959.

Back cover blurb ...

"Rulfo, like the great Mexican painter Orozco, views
history as a tragic circus in which evil impresarios
betray clown by making them believe in their own
masquerade.  It is the world of Hieronymous Bosch and
Rouault as well as of Orozco, and among writers, of
Poe and Faulkner; and in each instance its treatment
depends for its success on the amount of life the
artist conjures out of it....  Among contemporary
writers in Mexico today ... [Juan Rulfo is] expected
to rank among the immortals.  And the Mexicans are
right." --Selden Rodman, New York Times Book Review

Thankful as well to/for Toby, Juan, Monica.  Looks
interesting AND is mercifully short (ca. Lot 49) ...
