An unforgettable collection of stories by one of the world's most revered writers.
Slippery figures in anomalous situations – ghosts, spies, bodyguards, criminals– haunt these stories by Javier Marías: the characters come bearing their strange and special secrets, and never leave our minds. In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move,and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another, a ghost can’t stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, Marías manages in a small space to perplex and delight. “The short story fits Marías like a glove,” as Le point noted. His stories have been hailed as “formidably intelligent” (
The London Review of Books
), “a bracing tonic” (
The Chicago Tribune
), and “startling” (
The New York Times Book Review
).
