In a story by this author, a visitor to an unnamed Latin American country starts a wildly successful business by sending shrunken heads back to Boston, so the country institutes crazy policies to try to make sure the death rate keeps up with demand. This author of "Mr. Taylor" created Bartolome Arrazola, who tries to save himself from being sacrificed by Mayans by warning "If you kill me, I can darken the sun in its heights," which fails because the Mayans are already perfectly familiar with how eclipses work. A story in which a flock of sheep executes every (*) black sheep that comes along so they can erect an equestrian statue in its honor is one of this author's many fables about animals. Those fables are noted for their brevity, much like his story which reads, in its entirety, "When he awoke, the dinosaur was still there." For 10 points, name this Honduran-born Guatemalan short story writer.
