The houseguest and other stories 2018
By Amparo Dávila, Santiago Caruso, Matthew Gleeson, Audrey Harris
- Mexican Short stories, Short stories, mexican
With acute psychological insight, Dávila follows her characters to the limits of desire, paranoia, insomnia, and fear. She is a writer obsessed with obsession, who makes nightmares come to life through the everyday: loneliness sinks in easily like a razor-sharp knife, some sort of evil lurks in every shadow, delusion takes the form of strange and very real creatures.
