Publisher's Synopsis

On a dark and stormy night, an unnamed narrator is visited by two women: one a former lover, the other a stranger. They ruthlessly question their host and claim to know his greatest secret: that he is, in fact, a woman. In increasingly desperate attempts to defend his masculinity, perplexed by the stranger's dubious claims to be the writer Amparo Dávila, he finds himself spiralling deeper into a haunted past that may or may not be his own.

This surreal novel enfolds a masterful exploration of gender in taut, atmospheric mystery.

About the Publisher

And Other Stories

We publish writing that is mind-blowing, often "challenging" (Maureen Freely) and "shamelessly literary" (Stuart Evers) - opening a space for exploration and discovery. It's up for debate. We publish world-class writing, not "world writing". So far we have concentrated on translations because there are so many amazing writers currently not available to readers in English.
