Abstract

The speaker was Gabriel a distinguished civil engineer of the mountain corps. He was seated under a pine tree near a spring on the crest of the Guadarrama. It was only about a league and a half distant from the palace of the Escurial on the boundary line of the provinces of Madrid and Segovia. I know the place spring pine tree and all but I have forgotten its name.

Abstract

The first short story collection in the Margellos series, from a master of the genre and an irrepressible critic during Argentina's brutal years of repression Acclaimed for the gemlike perfection of her short stories, Liliana Heker has repeatedly received major literary awards in her native Argentina. Her work has some of the dark humor of Saki or Roald Dahl, and her versatility and range have earned her a wide, appreciative audience. This expertly translated volume brings to English-language readers the full compass of Heker's stories, from her earliest published volume (1966) through her most recent (2011). Heker rejected exile during the dangerous Dirty War years and formed part of a cultural resistance that stood against repression. As a writer, she found in the microcosm of the family and everyday events subtle entry into political, historical, and social issues. Heker's stories examine the rituals people invent to relate to one another, especially girls and women, and they reveal how the consequences of tiny acts may be enormous. With charm, economy, and a close focus on the intimate, Heker has perfected the art of the glimpse.

Abstract

Una niña desentierra en el jardín unos huesos que resultan no ser de un animal; la bucólica escena veraniega de unas chicas que se bañan en un paraje natural acaba convertida en un infierno de celos de inquietantes consecuencias; un mendigo despreciado siembra la desgracia en un barrio pudiente; Barcelona se transforma en un escenario perturbador, marcado por la culpa y del que es imposible escapar; una presencia fantasmal busca un sacrificio en un balneario; una chica siente una atracción fetichista por los corazones enfermos; un rockero fallecido de un modo atroz recibe un homenaje de sus fans que va más allá de lo imaginable; un chico que filma clandestinamente a parejas haciendo el amor y a mujeres con tacones altos caminando por las calles recibe una propuesta que le cambiará la vida... En los doce soberbios cuentos que componen este volumen Mariana Enriquez despliega todo un repertorio de recursos del relato clásico de terror: apariciones espectrales, brujas, sesiones de espiritismo, grutas, visiones, muertos que vuelven a la vida... Pero, lejos de proponer una mera revisitación arqueológica del género, reelabora ese material con una voz propia y radicalmente moderna. Tirando del hilo de la mejor tradición, la lleva un paso más allá, con historias que indagan en lo siniestro que se agazapa en lo cotidiano.
