With the rare maturity of thirty, in the vein of Clarice Lispector, Lorrie Moore, or Grace Paley, these stories are a space for exploration. Life is faced head-on, but without urgency. There's a tranquil rhythm that, toward the end, combines with the impact of a discovery. That's why reading them evokes the intense pleasure of a contained and latent outpouring. Without a doubt, this first book by Magalí Etchebame is the best possible start to a body of work.
