A review by deemania
The Houseguest: And Other Stories by Amparo Dávila

dark tense fast-paced

5.0

requires you to read between the lines and reflect after reading. unsettling and intentionally vague existential horror. beautiful, sometimes experimental writing. excellent, deliberate translation. a lot of focus on themes of womanhood and trauma related to it. exactly what it says on the tin. a quick read, but I chose to read one story a night and really enjoyed digesting it that way
