Beschreibung
Whimsical and sinister, each story by Silvina Ocampo is like a knife of spun sugar that can still pierce between your ribs. A thief breaks into the house of a psychic with disastrous results, a bride has her personality subsumed by the previous occupant of her home, and two men switch destinies for a change of pace.
The Impostor offers a comprehensive collection from one of the twentieth century's great forgotten woman writers. Here are tales of doubles and living dolls, angels and demons, a beautiful seer who writes the autobiography of her own death, and much else that is mad, sublime, and delicious.
With an array spanning the length of Ocampo's career, these haunting stories are among the world's strangest and best.

<b>The allure of Silvina Ocampo'
Silvina Ocampo is one of our best writers. Her stories have no equal in our literature.
Ocampo captures mundane events in a whimsical, slightly sinister style
The black satire of her stories spares almost no one... eerily prescient
A comprehensive collection of surreal tales
