Quotes by Mario Alberto Zambrano (?)

“Papi looked down at the side-view mirror, at the pine branches sticking out from behind the truck, and every time Rocio raised her voice, singing and screaming at the same time, it felt like the front seats were flooding with water.”
― Mario Alberto Zambrano, Lotería

Mario’s Quotes

“For me, the short story is not a character sketch, a mouse trap, an epiphany, a slice of suburban life. It is the flowering of a symbol center. It is a poem grafted onto sturdier stock.”
― William H. Gass
