Publisher Description:
El nuevo libro de la autora de V rtigo nos habla de la dificultad de establecer una verdadera comunicaci n con los dem s. Divertida, imprevista, sarc stica, irrepetible. Esta nueva colecci n de relatos es el inclemente y humor stico acoso de Joanna Walsh a un tema: la incomunicaci n y la imposibilidad de establecer un contacto integral. Las protagonistas de estos cuentos categorizan los h bitos de lectura seg n las relaciones de una peque a comunidad algo envidiosa; o esperan durante meses en una estaci n de tren extranjera a que su cita llegue; o escriben una «vieja carta para romper una relaci n en un momento en que las personas han aprendido a hablarse con interjecciones. Imaginativa en la elecci n de sus formatos y precisa incluso cuando nombra los afectos m s ambiguos, Walsh es una escritora irrepetible, s lo comparable a aquellos maestros (desde Kafka hasta Lydia Davis) que han dado al relato breve la capacidad subversiva de pensar lo impensable.

The new book by the author of V rtigo tells us about the difficulty of establishing true communication with others. Funny, unexpected, sarcastic, unrepeatable. This new collection of stories is the inclement and humorous harassment of Joanna Walsh to a subject: the isolation and the impossibility of connection with another person. The protagonists of these stories categorize reading habits according to the relationships of a small, somewhat envious community; or they wait for months in a foreign train station for their appointment to arrive; or they write an old letter to break a relationship at a time when people have learned to speak to each other with interjections. Imaginative in the choice of her formats and precise even when she names the most ambiguous affections, Walsh is an unrepeatable writer, only comparable to those teachers (from Kafka to Lydia Davis) who have given the short story the subversive capacity to think the unthinkable.
