Crying over spilled milk
LINA MARÍA PARRA OCHOA

Summary
Lina María Parra’s short stories feel especially close to our world, the one we were told about. The world of wonderful revelation, painful tragedy, and memories we are supposed to live in. This nearness, however, shuns comparison. Each short story is strong enough to unfold the mere anecdote and expand its plot to crevices that take us to surprising depths and spaces .

This excellent short-story book spills over its context, skips through time, it is reflection and also it is bodily. It strokes, sickens, kills us; makes us fear, rejoice, weep. It is a full, swift and magnificent literary work by a truly outstanding storyteller.
