|  | In Few Words/En Pocas Palabras by Jose A. Burdiaga

Many clearly spring from the Latino soul - Neither renewed love, nor reheated chocolate - while others convey more universal themes - Writing has a good memory, it lasts forever . In Few Words/En Pocas Palabras provides a glimpse into the heart of a people. It is an invaluable resource for anyone learning or celebrating the Spanish language and Hispanic culture.
