Schweblin's command of the short story genre is masterful. Astonishing, unsettling writing.

Despues de cuatro meses, he terminado este libro de cuentos. No me gusto la mayoria de los. Mis preferidos son La Pesada Valija de Benavides y Mujeres Desesperadas por su critica femenista. Creo que la autora explora muchas temas interesantes, pero no estoy acostumbrada a leerlos asi en este manera literaria porque no es un genero que leyo mucho.

After 4 months, I've finished this collection of short stories. I didn't like the majority of them. My favorites were "" and "" because of their feminist critique. I think the author explores a lot of interesting themes, but I'm not used to reading them in this literary way because it's not a genre I read often.

My spellcheck does not accept Spanish words :(
