The End of the Story | Liliana Heker

Pickpick

This review is for Heker‘s short story “Strategies Against Sleeping”. Senora Eloisa is very tired. She is returning to Azul by car riding with a salesman friend of her daughter‘s future father-in-law; however he wants to talk- wants her to keep him awake. She tells a story about a beggar in the street carrying a fat baby- she is so tired. What Eloisa relates causes him to set her by the side of the road, in the rain. Translated from Spanish.

Lindy 🌹This is a powerful story. #ssac2018 6y

This is translated from Spanish by an Argentinean author and is another #scribdpicks for #womenintranslation.
This sounds really interesting someone talking about their friend who's been kidnapped, probably not to be seen again.
Yet another #tbr for me.
