Editorial Reviews
Review
"Is, in fact, writing a subversive impulse for women, as opposed to what men rather vain gloriously define as craftsmanship? This question... reverberates throughout this outstanding collection... Given the number of translators, there is an incredible smoothness of tone here... this is an important work and it is also a great read." -- Publishers Weekly.
Synopsis
"Thirty-three authors and 37 texts represent powerful voices 'spoken from a woman's threshold' throughout 20th century. Twenty-two translators achieve a competent level with a wide variety of themes and styles. Editor's introduction orients reader to stories' Chilean context. Short notes on authors and translators. Recommended for classroom use"--H
