520 "The first novel to appear in English by one of the most
talked-about and critically acclaimed writers of new
Mexican fiction. From a psychoanalyst's couch, the
narrator looks back on her bizarre childhood--in which she
was born with an abnormality in her eye into a family
intent on fixing it. In a world without the time and space
for innocence, the narrator intimately recalls her younger
self--a fierce and discerning girl open to life's
pleasures and keen to its ruthless cycle of tragedy. With
raw language and a brilliant sense of humor, both delicate
and unafraid, Nettel strings together hard-won, unwieldy
memories--taking us from Mexico City to Aix-en-Provence,
France, then back home again--to create a portrait of the
artist as a young girl. In these pages, Nettel's art of
storytelling transforms experience into inspiration and a
new startling perception of reality. "Nettel's eye...gives
rise to a tension, subtle but persistent, that immerses us
in an uncomfortable reality, disquieting, even disturbing-
-a gaze that illuminates her prose like an alien sun
shining down on our world." --Valeria Luiselli, author of
Sidewalks and Faces in the Crowd "It has been a long time
since I've found in the literature of my generation a
world as personal and untransferable as that of Guadalupe
Nettel." --Juan Gabriel Vasquez, author of The Sound of
Things Falling "Nettel reveals the subliminal beauty
within beings...and painstakingly examines the intimacies
of her soul." --Magazine Litteraire "Guadalupe Nettel's
storytelling power is majestic."--Typographical Era In
Praise of Natural Histories "Five flawless stories..." --
The New York Times "Nettel's stories are as atmospheric
and emotionally battering as Checkhov's."--Asymptote"--

520 "From a psychoanalyst's couch, the narrator looks back on
her bizarre childhood--in which she was born with a birth
defect into a family intent on fixing it--having somehow
survived the emotional havoc she went through. And survive
she did, but not unscathed. This intimate narrative echoes
the voice of the narrator's younger self: a sharp,
sensitive girl who is keen to life's gifts and hardships.
With bare language and smart humor, both delicate and
unafraid, the narrator strings a strand of touching
stories together in a portrait of an unconventional
childhood that crushed her, scarred her, mended her, tore
her apart and ultimately made her whole"--|cProvided by
