Three (never mild) surprises

Anne Carson, in The Beauty of the Husband, captivates with a unique voice that explores lost love and hope in loss. Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, in Miami Century Fox, creates vibrant poetry where words from Miami and Cuba collide in a game of Spanglish. Carme López Mercader, in Duelo sin brújula, offers a veiled testimony of mourning for Javier Marías, respecting his privacy.
