Abstract

en_US
Get it? Soda fountain? In the Advertencia al Lector, Fiscón states clearly that these are not fables of La Fontaine. They are, he says, more. He goes on to claim that there is much merit in the fact that he wrote these, even if the merit is not literary. The cover picture has a horse drinking through a straw out of the kind of glass that many of us would associate with a drug store's soda fountain. There are four rhyming verse fables here, written in longhand, each with a full-page colored illustration. The collage-like illustrations are decidedly surrealistic. La cabeza que se quejaba tells of a head that makes his way complaining through the world until God asks him what he can do for him. God even makes some suggestions about what he could do for this head. What does the head ask for? A sombrero. In the second, a crow that has come to eat nothing but eyes finally eats the moon. The third explains why the The Sphinx Who Did Not Have a Complex committed suicide after encountering Oedipus. The final poem tells of the devil who tried to sell his soul to God. My deficient Spanish seems good enough to determine that this effort of the devil's does not turn out well.
