First translation into English of classic author An influential literary figure in early 20th century Argentina and friend of Borges, Neruda and Garcia Lorca This eerie and thrilling story will appeal to fans of Woolf, Borges, Leonora Carrington and more modern writers such as Fleur Jaeggy and Samantha Schweblin
A young woman in Buenos Aires spies three women in the house opposite her family's home. Intrigued, she begins to watch them. She imagines them as accomplices to an unknown crime, as troubled spinsters contemplating suicide, or as players in an affair with dark and mysterious consequences. Lange's imaginative excesses and almost hallucinatory images make this uncanny exploration of desire, domestic space, voyeurism and female isolation a twentieth-century masterpiece. Too long viewed as Borges's muse, Lange is today recognised in the Spanish-speaking world as a great writer and is here translated into English for the first time, to be read alongside Virginia Woolf, Clarice Lispector and Marguerite Duras.
