who now lives in Brooklyn, returns to her family home in Ohio, where she unearths a secret about her parents.

By Renee Ashley. 2003
How does a woman move from one life to another? Can she? In this lyrical and often very funny novel,…
thirty-seven-year old Dore Dover searches for answers both in the familiar territories of old friendships and the mapless terrain of marriage. What hope can there be for a woman who says aloud, “I drag that old life with me like a dead cat in a sack”? “It has been pointed out to me that I am undefined, that I don’t know what I want, and that this is my whole problem. It is entirely probable. If I knew what I wanted, I’d just go get it. But as it is, I don’t know, and so here I sit on this damp stoop, outside a house we no longer own, leaving, with a husband whom, it is quite probable, I do not love, to go live in a rather isolated area, which, some time ago, gave me a great deal of pleasure. “I am too old for this . . .” Dore takes on the world and herself in this first novel by acclaimed poet Renée Ashley. While the ground is shifting beneath her, Dore discovers what her truths might be in the troubled places within herself.Santiago's Silver Mine

Claroscuro
By Grazia Deledda, José Miguel Velloso. 1965
Los seres que pueblan estos relatos viven en una sociedad agraria cuyas raíces profundas son el paganismo y la superstición.…
Grazia Deledda muestra cómo los patrones de conducta arcaicos--los celos, la desesperación, los amores prohibidos, la traición--se agravan cuando son expuestos al rigor moral de unos códigos morales surgidos del Catolicismo, injertados en una estructura patriarcal inflexible.Es gente atrapada, para quienes el alivio de una penuria solo anuncia la llegada de otra. Relatos realistas con elementos de leyenda, de supersticiones antiguas y de tradiciones locales, que evitan los finales trillados. Porque los personajes se enfrentan a peligros reales: el hambre, la malaria, la sequía, la indigencia.Desde la mirada de Deledda, nadie es capaz de condenar a la joven que se casa con un hombre al que odia solo por huir del hambre. O de no emocionarse con el campesino que, privado de mejores palabras, compara el surgimiento de un sentimiento extraño que lo atemoriza con la mordedura de una víbora.Baby Brown Bear's Big Bellyache
