Mexican writer Rosario Sanmiguel crafts intriguing narratives about solitary women in search of their place, caught between the past and the present. The stories follow these women - some from privileged backgrounds and others from desperate circumstances - through seedy bars, hotel rooms, and crowded streets of the border.
Originally published in Mexico as Callejon Sucre y otros relatos, John Pluecker's translation captures the nuances of border dialect and irony. The seven stories interweave the opposing themes of solitude and connectedness, longing and privilege, fear and audacity, all of which are juxtaposed on the boundary of self-awareness.
