Most of Silvina Campo’s stories are less than 5 pages— with the exception of “The Imposter,” which is a short novella and my favorite of this collection so far.

Her stories are speculative, fantastical, and cruel: Indeed, she asked her English translator to compile this anthology of her most cruel stories.

Ocampo was married to Adolfo Bioy Casares — author of The Invention of Morel, a modern classic.
