We have before us this week the first authorized translation of the long and long-acclaimed Portuguese masterpiece Stamp Your Feet! by Juan Luis Obregon. Although Obregon was a contemporary, and most likely an acquaintance, of such literary lions as Joyce, Hemingway, and Stein, he has remained in relative obscurity outside his native land. Until recently only two of Obregon's works have been available in English: the early pornographic love poem "Ode to a Thighchilada," and the puzzling yet often anthologized short story "Gherkin," a surreal tour de force that takes place entirely under brine and which Ford Maddox Ford accused of being "no more than a distended pickling recipe."
