En Cuentos y Misterios, el señor Hernández nos presenta una solidez y sobriedad de su estética narrativa que se hace manifiesta desde su primera historia, "El Compadre gavilán" en la cual se destaca su habilidad como fabulista. Su segunda historia, "No pudo evadir su destino" es un buen ejemplo de una estampa cultural hispana; en cuanto trata de todos los pormenores relacionados con un mortuorio como se realiza en cualquiera de los países hispanos. "El desconocido" es un excelente ejemplo de "lo real maravilloso." Otro recurso postmodernista que se manifiesta en este cuento es la parodia de las autoridades represivas oficiales; que sirve de estrategia para que los grupos marginados y reprimidos confronten la cultura dominante. Finalmente, quisiera señalar el empleo de las técnicas narrativas del cubismo y del realismo mágico en las dos últimas historias, "El juicio de Manuel Contreras" y "Tersa," además de algunos rasgos existencialistas manifiestos en estas historias. Breve resumen de la reseña de Horacio A. Hernández, Ph.D.

Pablo Neruda was a senator, a consul, an ambassador, a scholar, and one of the most famous poets in the world. But even though he was a very important man, he never forgot his inner child. Neruda collected books and other objects as if they were toys; he used to paint a moustache on his face using burnt cork; he loved birds, and, one time, he even tamed a mongoose
