"The Fat Man from La Paz" itself is an entertaining, yet anti-climactic story of blow a rich citizen attempting to find his kidnapped father. Although he knows that if his father is not already dead the blow kidnappers will never let his father go alive. His vain efforts are followed in his interactions with an unsympathetic police force. Though the crime and victims are clear, he is blow outcast due to his wealth, and the government cares little outside of apprehending the kidnappers. Following are some religious stories that slow down the intricately established rhythm of the book. I believe that they take the emphasis off of the Bolivian people and place it on the broader topic of human spirituality. Luckily, this trend is broken with "The One with the Horse." This light hearted story of a ghost who walks from village to village with his living horse blends spirituality with folklore and perhaps brings the reader in contact with the people of Bolivia better than any other in the compilation.
