Zusammenfassung: | "Cinderella's sisters surgically modify their feet to win the prince's love. A werewolf gathers up enough courage to visit a dentist. A medium trying to reach the afterworld gets a recorded message. A fox and a badger compete to out-fool each other. Whether writing of insomnia from a mosquito's point of view or showing us what happens after the princess kisses the frog, Ana María Shua, in these fleet and incandescent stories, is nothing if not pithy, except, of course, wildly entertaining. Some as short as a sentence, these microfictions have been selected and translated from four different books. Flashes of insight, cracks of wit, twists of logic, and quirks of language: these are fictions in the distinguished Argentinean tradition of Borges and Cortázar and Denevi, as powerful as they are brief"--Provided by publisher. |
Beschreibung: | The microfictions being presented in this volume are taken from four previously published Spanish-language books. |

English Microfictions / Ana María Shua ; translated by Steven J. Stewart. Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, [2009] ©2009 1 online resource (196 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Latin American women writers The microfictions being presented in this volume are taken from four previously published Spanish-language books. Translated from the Spanish. Monsters -- Dreams -- Magic -- Health -- Literature -- Men and women -- Faith. "Cinderella's sisters surgically modify their feet to win the prince's love. A werewolf gathers up enough courage to visit a dentist. A medium trying to reach the afterworld gets a recorded message. A fox and a badger compete to out-fool each other. Whether writing of insomnia from a mosquito's point of view or showing us what happens after the princess kisses the frog, Ana María Shua, in these fleet and incandescent stories, is nothing if not pithy, except, of course, wildly entertaining. Some as short as a sentence, these microfictions have been selected and translated from four different books. Flashes of insight, cracks of wit, twists of logic, and quirks of language: these are fictions in the distinguished Argentinean tradition of Borges and Cortázar and Denevi, as powerful as they are brief"--Provided by publisher.
