mejor de la narración breve de Julio César Londoño, un escritor apasionado del cuento y del ensayo. En sus ensayos se empeña en acercar al hombre común la obra del genio.

En sus cuentos hay el mismo afán de cautivar al lector, el mismo desenfado para narrar combinado con un cuidado musical de la forma, la misma erudición, la misma variedad temática, a veces las mismas obsesiones, y protagonistas tan atractivos como el caballo de Troya, Cristóbal Colón, Rufino José Cuervo, el cacique muisca Bechí, Johannes Kepler y Ramsés II.The Twelve Strange Days of Christmas
