Review

Silvina Ocampo is one of our best writers. Her stories have no equal in our literature. -- Jorge Luis Borges

No other writer better captures the magic inside everyday rituals, the forbidden or hidden face that our mirrors don't show us. -- Italo Calvino

Few writers have an eye for the small horrors of everyday life; fewer still see the everyday marvellous. Other than Silvina Ocampo, I cannot think of a single writer who at any time or in any language, has chronicled both with such wise and elegant humour. -- Alberto Manguel

Book Description

Fantastical, unnerving short stories from a Surrealist master of the form

About the Author

<b>Silvina Ocampo</b> (1903-1993) studied painting with Giorgio de Chirico and Fernand Léger in Paris, before returning to Buenos Aires. Her first collection of stories, <i>Forgotten Journey</i> appeared in 1937. She was also a prolific poet and translator. Ocampo was reportedly denied Argentina's National Prize for fiction in 1979 after judges decided her work was 'too cruel'.
