Herasto Reyes (author of Cuentos en la Noche del Mar) offers us various creative possibilities, since his stories contain multiple edges, such as the creation of a mythical town (Carandaí) in the style of Macondo by Gabriel García Márquez, Santa María By Juan Carlos Onetti or Jonapatawfa by William Faulkner, and also presents a clear intertextuality of the Persian work The Thousand and One Nights. The work presented by Reyes is a catalog of creation and literary recreation that allows us to enjoy a Panamanian text of universal dimensions.
