Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"These twelve stories ... are an excellent and appropriate reflection of the range and depth of her work. The stories are diverse in style and length but the thematic obsession with perversion, cruelty and sexual depravity seems to link them definitively. The collection opens with 'The Shunammite', long acknowledged by critics as one of the most important short stories ever written in Mexico. The introduction by Cynthia Steele and foreword by Elena Poniatowska offer helpful insights into Arredondo's life and an assessment of her work... overall a fascinating introduction to the work of Arredondo and the superlative translations of the stories by Steele are a fitting tribute to her profoundly disturbing vision of the human condition." --Bulletin of Hispanic Studies, April 1999 Read more...
