Silvina Ocampo Aguirre was a poet and short-fiction writer.

Ocampo was the youngest of the six children of Manuel Ocampo and Ramona Aguirre. One of her sisters was Victoria Ocampo, the publisher of the literarily important Argentine magazine Sur.

Silvina was educated at home by tutors, and later studied drawing in Paris under Giorgio de Chirico. She was married to Adolfo Bioy Casares, whose lover she became (1933) when Bioy was 19. They were married in 1940. In 1954 she adopted Bioy’s daughter with another woman, Marta Bioy Ocampo (1954-94) who was killed in an automobile accident just three weeks after Silvina Ocampo’s death.

En poco menos de tres páginas, Silvina logra inundarnos de imágenes que nos describen desde una dinámica familiar, hasta la tragedia que los golpea. Es un laburo excelente, lleno de comparaciones entendibles y familiares que logran no sólo que te atrape la historia si no que te sorprenda la oscuridad de su final. Una gran entrada a su libro "Viaje Olvidado", que fue también lo primero que publicó en 1937.

In just under three pages, Silvina manages to fill us with images that describe everything from a family dynamic to the tragedy that befalls them. It's an excellent work, full of understandable and relatable comparisons that not only captivates you into the story but also surprises you with the darkness of its ending. A great introduction to her book "Viaje Olvidado", which was also her first published in 1937.

La narración del relato a través de las claraboyas es exquisito. Un recurso utilizado de manera sublime.

Love este tipo de cuentos, el punto de vista y la normalización de violencia es algo super interesante. Banco una banda.
