Overview

This collection of first-prize-winning Spanish-language short stories, Desnudos del alma (Nuevo Ser: Buenos Aires, 2004) by Marisa Estelrich, is masterfully translated to English by Graciela Lucero-Hammer. Amanda Powell, co-translator and editor of The Answer/ La Respuesta, states: "Marisa Estelrich takes her place among artists who work internationally in the best sense of the word, by embracing rather than erasing local and regional realities, and at the same time exploring a world literary inheritance. Her dreamdriven narratives are at home in the Americas, South and North, while they traverse as well the hemispheres of creativity and analysis. These oblique interrogations of power and pleasure let us know how much, and how little, the complicated descriptor "woman writer" matters. Graciela Lucero Hammer's deft and lucid translations show the plain-spoken at play with the phantasmagoric. We are fortunate to have these two fine writers offer us Desnudos del alma/Naked Souls."

    Naked Souls / desundos del alma

    By Marisa Estelrich
    Translation by Graciela Lucero-Hammer
    Book-cover art by Liliana Italiano
    Reviewed by Stephen Page

    Marisa Estelrich writes stories that have bizarre characters and plot twists. The reader needs to be open to surrealism and read between the lines in order to understand her intent. Her dream-like narratives are influenced by Borges, Lorca, and Poe.

    These stories have no happily-ever-after endings. In fact, some readers may think there are no endings at all. That is not true. Estelrich writes open-window style. A window is opened, a part of a character's life is shown, and then the window is closed. This style may also be called slice-of-life. The characters in Naked Souls do not experience epiphanies or learn lessons, but the reader does. By writing in this manner, Estelrich allows the reader to participate in the resolutions.

    Graciela Lucero-Hammer translates the stories well. She captures all the nuances of Estelrich's Spanish and translates them into readable, captivating English. Liliana Italiano's book-cover art is as attractive, surrealistic, and open for interpretation as the stories within.

    These are finely wrought stories influenced by the masters of fiction. This book is good for bilingual people, as they can read both versions of the stories. This book is good for anyone learning either English or Spanish, as the side-by-side narratives allow comparison of passages, phrases, words, and comprehension. This book is good for anyone who loves participatory literature at its best.
