La dama que se transformó en zorro by David Garnett
5.0
“‘Silvia, Silvia, is it so hard for you? Try and remember the past, my darling, and by living with me we will quite forget that you are no longer a woman. Surely this affliction will pass soon, as suddenly as it came, and it will all seem to us like an evil dream.’
Yet though she appeared perfectly sensible of his words and gave him sorrowful and penitent looks like her old self, that same afternoon, on taking her out, he had all the difficulty in the world to keep her from going near the ducks.”
A tragedy whose impossible premise is treated with so much sobriety and candor that I couldn’t help but chuckle throughout. Loved it.
