Overview
En los cuatro relatos que conforman Álbum de familia, el lector no puede escapar a una prosa profunda e irónica al presenciar la lección de cocina de una recién casada, al participar en una reunión dominguera en que se plantean todo tipo de relaciones sexuales y sociales, al contemplar la ceguera de una madre a la anormalidad que ella misma propició en sus hijos y, por último, al asomarse a los mundos plagados de ira y envidia de ciertas damas intelectuales.
Una extraordinaria galería de personajes femeninos narrados estupendamente por la gran poetisa, narradora, dramaturga y ensayista mexicana.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In the four stories that make up Álbum de familia, the reader cannot escape a profound and ironic prose when witnessing a newlywed’s cooking lesson, participating in a Sunday gathering where all kinds of sexual and social relationships are discussed, observing a mother’s blindness to the abnormality she herself fostered in her children, and finally, peering into the worlds filled with anger and envy of certain intellectual ladies.
An extraordinary gallery of female characters superbly narrated by the great Mexican poet, storyteller, playwright, and essayist.
