Un joven entrevista a la viuda de un reconocido pintor. Una mujer espera, en la asepsia de un hospital de quemados, un milagro para su hija. Una escuela llena de alumnos privilegiados y tutores ap�ticos se vuelve un lugar violento en el que hay que aprender c�mo cuidarse. Llenos de sarcasmo y penumbras, inteligencia y humor, los relatos de Ni una palabra cabalgan entre la brutalidad y la ternura, entre la ficci�n y la no ficci�n, casi sin que nos demos cuenta. Sus protagonistas, en general mujeres desesperadas que esquivan cualquier lugar com�n, atraviesan tragedias mayores y menores con un temple desconcertante, a veces con giros exc�ntricos pero siempre guiadas por una lucidez extra�a y crepuscular. Pertenezco a una estirpe de brujas, sol�a decir sobre s� misma Caroline Blackwood. Arist�crata, m�ticamente bella y con una vida tumultuosa que incluy� matrimonios con Lucian Freud y Robert Lowell, Blackwood lleg� a la literatura con relativa tardanza pero de manera contundente. Esta selecci�n de sus mejores cuentos revela un humor mordaz, una mirada implacable, incluso cruel, sobre la condici�n humana, pero tambi�n una ilimitada capacidad para conmover y enternecernos. Ni una palabra es un libro inolvidable.
