Senora Rodriguez and Other Worlds

"A kaleidoscopic fantasy, by turns comic, deadpan, and macabre, from the Escher of magical realism."--Laura Esquivel, author of "Like Water for Chocolate" and "The Law of Love"

About the author

Martha Cerda

Summary

Senora Rodriguez and her family are placed shoulder-to-shoulder and page-to-page with strangers, acquaintances, and a host of importune, if not impertinent, stories. Here, what is at once a comedy of manners, a collection of loosely related anecdotes, stories, and epiphanies, is also an artful entree into literary and philosophical questions.
