¿Es un relato pequeño? Sí. ¿Toca muchos temas? También.

Las niñas salvajes nos presenta tantas cosas, como patriarcado, colonización, esclavitud, status quo, violencia, guerra, civilización, etc., que resulta muy difícil abarcar todo lo que sentí con él.

Recomiendo mucho esta edición del libro y me encanta que además fue una recomendación en una feria de libro en el Museo de Antropología de la Ciudad de México

"A Modest Conversation" is a wonderful essay. Highly recommended.

1. The Wild Girls: A powerful short story. In 54 pages.
2. Staying Awake While We Read: An Essay on reading, skewering the publishing industry.
3. Poems; not enough of them.
4. The Conversation of the Modest: An essay on Modesty.
5. A Lovely Art: Interview with Ursula K. Le Guin. Otherwise known as pure Sass. Although, I imagine she wouldn't like to be called that...

Enjoyable short read and holy crap, The Wild Girls story is so engrossing.

All kinds of good things in this book, especially after the story ends. Thanks be to libraries and the time to browse for things I didn't mean to pick up off the shelves.

The short story "The Wild Girls" was heartbreaking. The poems were good, too. The essays (one about literacy and the profit motive in publishing, the other about modesty) were not interesting to me. The interview was pleasantly amusing, but not substantive.

Always a joy to read something from Ms. LeGuin I've not read before. She has such a delicate voice that one doesn't expect the passion or violence before it strikes. This volume also includes some prose, poetry, and interviews. A slim volume but rich.
