Galeano at his most condensed — stories, memories, dreams, and political observations compressed to a paragraph each. A man in a concentration camp who memorized jokes. A woman who collected clouds. The way power works on bodies. The way tenderness survives. Read five pages and feel slightly less alone in the world. Read the whole thing and feel like someone handed you a new pair of eyes.
