Writers, publishers, readers and scholars have stopped apologising
for the short story: the genre is no longer a bad investment, a
trial-exercise for a novel or a minor entertainment, as
demonstrated by exceptional writers with an almost exclusive
dedication to it, such as Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Munro, Quim
Monzo or Cristina Fernandez Cubas. With deep roots in classic and
medieval literatures, and great achievements in the nineteenth- and
twentieth-centuries, the genre of the short story, which benefits
from the linguistic tightness of poetry and the narrative comforts
of the novel, has finally been recognised as having a (hybrid)
identity of its own. This volume re-edits and expands a previous
bilingual collection published in 1997. The first edition included
stories by twelve writers: Pilar Cibreiro, Cristina Fernandez
Cubas, Paloma Diaz-Mas, Adelaida Garcia Morales, Lourdes Ortiz,
Laura Freixas, Marina Mayoral, Mercedes Abad, Rosa Montero, Maruja
Torres, Soledad Puertolas and Maria Eugenia Salaverri. The present
edition adds another four: Nuria Amat, Juana Salabert, Luisa Castro
and Berta Marse. The stories gathered in this second edition were
written between 1980 and 2010, and testify to the richness and
vitality of women's writing in contemporary Spain. With the
original texts in Spanish as well as facing-page English
translations, an Introduction, notes, and bio-bibliographical
information on each author, this volume is a useful tool for
students of the Spanish language and culture at all levels. It
includes a selection of secondary reading on Spanish women writers
and a selection of anthologies of Spanish short stories since 1997.
