These stories include new takes on topics familiar to Villoro's readers, such as air travel and childhood. Unusual for Villoro, and as successful as his writing consistently proves itself to be, is the adoption of a female point of view, in "El di a en que fui normal," which is about a young girl who explores the limits of both her neighborhood and her comprehension of her parents' behavior. "Los sucesores" depicts the return of a childhood trauma and a surprising revelation that helps to develop an insightful commentary on guilt, self-awareness, and friendship. "Confianza," about the dalliance of a man who considers himself happily married, shares with "El di a" an attention to detail associated with a desire for comfort that proves to be a useless distraction during times of crisis. Villoro masterfully combines mental and emotional insight with observations of seemingly incongruent and unimportant daily occurrences. No library descriptions found. |
