While the Women Are Sleeping

While the Women Are Sleeping

An unforgettable collection of stories by one of the world's most revered writers.
Slippery figures in anomalous situations â‚¬â€œ ghosts, spies, bodyguards, criminalsâ‚¬â€œ haunt these stories by Javier MarÂas: the characters come bearing their strange and special secrets, and never leave our minds. In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move,and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another, a ghost canâ‚¬t stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, MarÂas manages in a small space to perplex and delight. â‚¬Å“The short story fits MarÂas like a glove,â‚¬Â as Le point noted. His stories have been hailed as â‚¬Å“formidably intelligentâ‚¬Â (The London Review of Books), â‚¬Å“a bracing tonicâ‚¬Â (The Chicago Tribune), and â‚¬Å“startlingâ‚¬Â (The New York Times Book Review).
