The Trees
In The Trees, Claudia Peña Claros piercingly renders a world in perpetual tumult, marked both by convulsive disputes over property and power and by nature's resistance in the face of human injustice. Shifting the focus of the short story away from the urban realm, she locates her vivid anti-narratives in the countryside and in small rural towns. Each story is its own uncanny ecosystem of reality-altering presences; each finds startling ways to catalogue ongoing tension and transformation. Staring deep into the past without taking her eyes from a future that may never arrive, Claudia Peña Claros raises her subtle, arresting voice with intimacy and power.
