You Come at Night
SHORT STORIES, 1979. PLANETA NEW EDITION, 2023. 229 PAGES.
In the story that lends its name to this collection, the ease with which Esmeralda - who has just been exposed as a bigamist - carries herself stuns an agent from the Public Ministry who can't understand a woman who bewitches everyone with her natural candour and unquestionable love for five separate husbands. Hypocritical morality, prejudice, unequal gender roles and class differences are brought into the light with depth, humour and lyricism in sixteen original stories that evoke the best and worst of our contradictory human natures.
The Elena Poniatowska Library gathers together the fiction, essays and journalism of an author who has transcended boundaries and become a towering literary figure with her extraordinary talent for conjuring atmospheres and creating extraordinary situations. You Come at Night features an unforgettable cast of characters.
