Literary Fiction
by Dara Lobeira
Guadalupe Nettel's story collection explores isolation, obsession, and the darker recesses of human nature through characters who exist on society's margins. Her protagonists are outsiders and misfits grappling with physical or psychological peculiarities that both define and alienate them. Nettel's prose is precise and unsettling, finding the strange within the mundane and examining how difference shapes identity.
