The art of subtlety

I only had the chance to read three of the stories from this collection last semester, but I found them to be some of the most intriguing short stories I've seen. Santos is a very capable writer, and it seems one of the more subtle ones I've read in a long time. Particularly in "The Day the Dancers Came," Santos is able to make a universal statement from a very particular situation.
