The Compass of His Bones

(2011)
A collection of stories by

 
 
This e-book contains World Fantasy Award winner Jeff VanderMeer's novella "Ghost Dancing with Manco Tupac" and four related short stories: "The Emperor's Reply," "The Compass of His Bones," "La Siesta Del Muerte," and "Flight Is For Those Who Have Not Yet Crossed Over." Together, these stand-alone stories set in Latin America were to have formed the backbone of a never-completed mosaic novel addressing issues of colonialism, storytelling, appropriation, and myth. The author's interest in Latin America derived from trips there as a child, including a visit to Machu Picchu in the 1970s. Subsequently he studied Latin American history as a minor at the University of Florida
