This story by Juan Rulfo – “No Dogs Bark” – is simple and short, but don’t let that fool you. Like a great piece of music or an abstract painting, much of what you take away from reading Rulfo’s work depends upon what you bring to it.
For more information about Rulfo and some deeper insight into his work, I strongly suggest reading the materials at the following links:
• BBC article about Juan Rulfo
• Info about Juan Rulfo at Mexconnect
