MUTIS, Alvaro. Maqroll. New York: Harper Collins, 1993. Octavo, 289pp. First edition in English of this collection of three novellas in a superb translation by Edith Grossman, featuring the introspective and tortured adventurer Maqroll el gaviero, whom Octavio Paz has likened to "a poet's consciousness." Mutis is among the finest and most inventive of living writers -- there may not be enough Nobel prizes to award to all the deserving, but he stands well toward the top of our short-list. A fine copy in publisher's half-cloth and paper-covered boards and illustrated dust jacket. Signed by Mutis and Grossman and dated 5/5/93. Books signed or inscribed by Mutis are scarce, and especially titles in English.
