While the Women are Sleeping Bewertungen

[Marias] has a rare ability to haunt the imaginations of his readers. He is more than just a storyteller - he's a manipulator of the psyche who can jolt his readers into new states of perception. Quite a feat for any writer New York Journal of Books This is a rewarding collection by one of contemporary literature's masters -- Alex Rayner Guardian The mannered, precise prose is typically well crafted and the observational comedy at its sharpest... Marias thrives in the domain of the mild macabre Times Literary Supplement Clever and strange... A fascinating patchwork of characters and stories The Times Mirroring ghosts, and doubles are all present in these haunting short stories by the celebrated Spanish author Javier Marias... Superb -- Lesie McDowell Independent on Sunday
