This article analyzes how the short Story “Historias de caníbales” [”Cannibal Tales”] by Ventura García Calderón [Peru, 1886-1959) derives much of its effect from a skillful parody of travel writing. The author plays with the characters, the rhetoric, and some of the commonplaces of the genre to convey an elegant protest against the often condescending attitudes of Europeans towards Latin America, especially those that tend to show up in travel writing.
