Rey Andújar’s work challenges the monotony of our surroundings and when his talent is blended with 7V’s ambitions the result is his provocative, funny, disturbing, sad, and triumphant Saturnalia. This hardcover collection of fourteen short stories has been translated into English by Kolin Jordan and takes us to unexpected destinations. During your travels you will experience the excitement and heartache related to expatriation and immigration, revenge and desire, and music and belonging. Through it all we get the sense of a world striated by the unexpected. *

Written by Manuel Abreu Adorno and originally published in 1978, And the Hippies Came / Llegaron los hippies has been released as a “flip” version that reads through to the middle in Spanish, and when flipped over, reads through to the middle in English. The twelve stories included in this masterpiece were translated by Rafael Franco Steeves, a Puerto Rican author who has published two books and various other stories and translations. This is the first time that this cult-classic has been made available in English. *
