SUMMARY

My Christina & Other Stories Years after her death, Mercegrave; Rodoreda's work is enjoying a well-deserved renaissance. The seventeen stories that comprise this volume vary tremendously in tone and style, from the hallucinatory to the bleakly realistic, from tales of tenderness and love to stories that might best be called folktales, reality merged with dream. "The humor in the stories, as well as their thrill of realism, comes from a Nabokovian precision of observation and transformation of plain experience into enchanting prose."--Todd Crespi,Los Angeles Times Book Review "A compelling stylist, well translated, with passages of stunning imagery in virtually every story."--Kirkus Reviews "Mr. Rosenthal's translation is top-flight and does justice to some of the best prose that has been written in Spain in the modern era."--Gregory Rabassa,The New York Times Timesof the DovesandCamellia Street, also by Mercegrave; Rodoreda, are available from Graywolf Press.Rodoreda, Mercè is the author of 'My Christina and Other Stories' with ISBN 9780915308651 and ISBN 0915308657.
