Detalles del libro
She lived a little in the shadow of her sister Victoria on the one hand and of her husband Bioy Casares and Borges on the other. She was an extravagant woman when writing her stories, short and crystalline, she was perfect.
(César Aira)Ocampo wrote with fascinated horror of Argentinean petty bourgeois society, whose banality and kitsch settings she used in a masterly way to depict strange, surreal atmospheres sometimes verging on the supernatural.
(The Independent)Silvina Ocampo is one of our best writers. Her stories have no equal in our literature.
(Jorge Luis Borges)Silvina Ocampo is, together with Borges and García Márquez, the leading writer in Spanish.
(Jorge Amado)Few writers have an eye for the small horrors of everyday life; fewer still see the everyday marvelous. Other than Silvina Ocampo, I cannot think of a single writer who, at any time or in any language, has chronicled both with such wise and elegant humor.
