Pornind de la mottoul tolstoian că „Toate familiile fericite seamănă una cu alta, fiecare familie nefericită este nefericită în felul ei", facem cunoștință rând pe rând cu personaje dintre cele mai pestrițe. O familie nu are nimic de împărțit în afară de singurătate, o mamă vorbește cu ucigașul propriei fiice, o pereche improbabilă își deapănă tinerețea, trei femei se întâlnesc la coșciugul tatălui lor. Toate aceste tablouri și multe altele sunt însoțite de corul mitic care apare între povestiri ca să tragă concluzii dintre cele mai neașteptate și mai crude.

Geografia mexicană a fost prefăcută de Rulfo, în „Ne-au dat pământ", în scenariul unei călătorii cu ecouri biblice. Kenzaburō Ōe recomandă aceste proze celor care vor să-și creeze propria poveste.

Valle-Inclan decia en una carta que estaba escribiendo "una novela americana de caudillaje y avaricia gachupinesca...en una prosa expresiva y poco academica". Esa obra fue Tirano Banderas donde con una prosa brillante muestra las pequeneces de los dictadores de nuestra America.

This poignant and poetic 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning play captures 1929 Florida at a time when cigars are still rolled by hand and "lectors" are employed to educate and entertain the workers. The arrival of a new lector is a cause for celebration. But when he reads aloud from Anna Karenina, he unwittingly becomes a catalyst in the lives of his avid listeners, for whom Tolstoy, the tropics, and The American Dream prove a volatile combination.

Em "Batendo orelha", Simões Lopes Neto mergulha em uma prosa poética e simbólica, onde as vidas de um boi e de um homem se entrelaçam de maneira profunda e sensível.
