What is While the Women Are Sleeping about?

A dozen unforgettable stories by one of the most original writers at work today (Wyatt Mason, The New York Times Book Review). Slippery figures in anomalous situations ghosts, spies, bodyguards, criminals haunt these stories by Javier Maras: the characters come bearing their strange and special secrets, and never leave our minds. In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move, and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another a ghost cant stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, Maras manages in a small space to perplex and delight. The short story fits Maras like a glove, as Le Point noted. His stories have been hailed as formidably intelligent (The London Review of Books), a bracing tonic (Chicago Tribune), and startling (The New York Times Book Review), "the most subtle and gifted writer in contemporary Spanish literature" (The Boston Globe).
