Description

A clown, a Roman emperor, an artist, a gardener, a babysitter, a girl raped by her own father, a mysterious woman in a red scarf, a disappointed mother… The stories in The Flagellated Woman and Other Unruliness crackle with life, illustrating the alchemy with which a writer draws on her own emotions to give flesh and blood to larger-than-life characters. Marisa D'Santos was born in Spain and has lived in Mexico for several years. She has published reviews, poetry and short stories in literary and cultural magazines and her work has been featured in the anthology Ellas también cuentan, published by Editorial Torremozas. The Spanish version of The Flagellated Woman and Other Unruliness is available in our Librería.
