Overview
In the tradition of narrativa de lo inusual (narrative of the unusual), The Only Sound Is the Wind combines the fantastic with the everyday, weaving elements of magical realism and surrealist twists to sharpen our view of human (and animal) connection. In the title story, the arrival of a mail-order clone complicates a burgeoning romance; a lonely librarian longing for her homeland strikes up an unusual relationship in the award-winning āThe Mothā; when humans start giving birth to puppies and kittens in āThis New Turn,ā a realignment of the natural order ensues; and the narrator of āChicoryā harnesses the power of invisibility to spy on her beautiful neighbor.
With a playful tenderness and satirical bent, The Only Sound Is the Wind is a lyrical exploration of solitude and communion, opening strange new worlds where characters try to make their way toward love.
