First Love & Look for My Obituary

“Excellent translation of Busca mi esquela and Primer amor, two novellas awarded the 1996 Sor Juana Inâes de la Cruz Prize. Provocative, haunting fiction whose author deserves to be studied and read for works other than her Recuerdos del porvenir”–Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58. “First Love,” Barbara and her daughter make friends with some German prisoners of war in France, and in “Look For My Obituary,” a doomed romance arises between a young man and a woman facing an arranged marriage
