Not sure why I saved it for last, but it has some of my favorite imagery in the whole collection. Funes looking at the dark passionflower by the glow of his cigarette, the storming pampas, etc. But the premise, too, and how far he takes it, is something to behold. How embodied the speculative element is. Great stuff, imo.
