Making a Scene: An Anthology of Short Stories by Cuban Women Writers
Summary
This bilingual collection of short stories features a stunning range of narratives, from moving accounts about old age such as Aida Bahr's "Not Quite Perfect/Imperfecciones" to Ana Luz García Calzada's exceptional "The Guests/Los Convidados."
