“A keen observer of human nature, Manuel Arroyo-Stephens was an underground writer. When his unpublished works see the light of day, he will become a posthumous writer,” wrote Luis Gago after the death of the renowned editor of the Spanish transition period, a shrewd and tireless reader, and a brilliant writer. Where the Wind Comes From brings together five previously unpublished pieces by Arroyo-Stephens—“My Mother is a Trout,” “Four Quixotes,” “A Businessman,” “Cities,” and “Waste”—halfway between fiction and chronicle, in which his characteristic wit shines. Readers will enjoy a prose writer who masterfully blends experience and imagination, and who has the unusual virtue of never shirks the sarcasm with which he views the rest of the world.
