Seventeen stories gallop, frolic, and slither across the pages of
this collection. Sometimes inspiring, sometimes fatalistic, but
always lyrical and thought-provoking, Domecq examines the human
condition from a unique viewpoint. A pet canary is caught between
her nesting instinct and her desire for solitude. A jaguar is
guardian spirit to a middle-aged woman. And in the title story, a
young girl is transformed during recess into a wild stallion. These
and other tales, told with irony, wit, and compassion, keep the
reader on the bittersweet edge between tragedy and comedy. Kay
Garcia's free-flowing translation makes the reader forget that the
narrative was not originally written in English.
