About the Book

BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES * RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW Y EN SU PODCAST READ WITH JENNA Estos cuentos confirman a la autora canadiense como una incisiva cronista de nuestros impulsos más oscuros. Consagrada gracias a la fabulosa difusión de sus novelas El cuento de la criada y Alias Grace, ambas convertidas en series de éxito internacional, Margaret Atwood despliega inteligencia y humor en abundancia en estos nueve cuentos sobre las facetas más absurdas y deliciosamente malvadas del ser humano. La irrupción de vampiros, de criaturas poseídas y de espíritus, que conviven con personajes y situaciones entrañables de la vida cotidiana, muda los relatos en originalísimas variantes sobre la inagotable materia de la enfermedad, la vejez y la muerte, a la vez que suponen una tenaz defensa de valores como el derecho a la diferencia y la libertad individual, y una aguerrida vindicación de las mujeres en un entorno hostil. Así, una escritora de literatura fantástica que ha enviudado hace poco sobrevive a una tormentosa noche de invierno guiada por la voz de su difunto marido; una anciana aquejada por el síndrome de Charles Bonnet asume la presencia de enanitos imaginarios mientras una turba disfrazada con caretas se congrega ante la residencia de la tercera edad donde vive para asaltar el recinto y prenderle fuego; o una sedimentación fosilizada con mil novecientos millones de años de antigüedad venga un delito cometido tiempo atrás. La mirada cáustica, lúcida y de una gran humanidad de Atwood es el componente sustancial de una prosa implacable, un faro que no deja de iluminarnos entre tanta incertidumbre y confusión. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK AS FEATURED ON TODAY • RECOMMENDED ON THE 'READ WITH JENNA' PODCAST• In this extraordinary collection, Margaret Atwood gives us nine unforgettable tales that reveal the grotesque, delightfully wicked facets of humanity. “Alphinland,” the first of three loosely linked tales, introduces us to a fantasy writer who is guided through a stormy winter evening by the voice of her late husband. In “Lusus Naturae,” a young woman, monstrously transformed by a genetic defect, is mistaken for a vampire. And in the title story, a woman who has killed four husbands discovers an opportunity to exact vengeance on the first man who ever wronged her. By turns thrilling, funny, and thought-provoking, Stone Mattress affirms Atwood as our greatest creator of worlds—and as an incisive chronicler of our darkest impulses.

Review :
«Es fácil apreciar la espectacular diversidad de la obra de Margaret Atwood [...] en toda su fuerza, elegancia y variedad. Cuando me paro a pensarlo, y lo sumo a sus talentos literarios y sus logros, se me corta la respiración.» -Alice Munro «Atwood es una poeta. Muy rara es la frase de su ágil prosa, áspera a la par que voraz, que no cumple con creces su función.» -John Updike «Una de las plumas en lengua inglesa más importantes de nuestros días.» -Germaine Greer «Eclécticos, divertidos, vibrantes, aterradores, bellos, una auténtica delicia.» -The Boston Globe «Potentes, ingeniosos y mordaces.» -The New York Times Book Review
