Reseña del libro "The One That Got Away: Short Stories (en Inglés)"

These short stories from the award-winning South African author "combine the coolly interrogative gaze of the outsider with an insider's intimate warmth" (J. M. Coetzee). Zoë Wicomb's debut short story collection, You Can't Get Lost in Cape Town, won critical acclaim across the globe as well as high praise from fellow authors including Toni Morrison, J. M. Coetzee, Bharati Mukherjee, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. Now, after two novels, Wicomb returns to the genre that first brought her international acclaim. Set mostly in the South African city of Cape Town, where Wicomb is from, and the Scottish city of Glasgow, where she now lives, this new collection of short stories straddles two worlds. With an array of expertly drawn characters, these twelve tales explore a range of human relationships: marriage, friendship, family, and the fraught yet often intimate relations between those who serve and those who are served. Full of ironic twists, ambiguities, and moments of startling insight, The One That Got Away showcases this Windham Campbell Award-winning author at the height of her powers. "An extraordinary writer . . . seductive, brilliant, and precious, her talent glitters." --Toni Morrison
