The Houseguest: And Other Stories by Amparo Dávila

3.75

short story collection about neighbors and houseguests that was haunting and thrilling. one story about a woman paralyzed on the stairs with grief particularly struck my fancy. I've also noticed that all the Spanish translated books I've read have had really long run on sentences, which isn't really for me tbh. I love short stories though, because they are easy to read (especially if you aren't able to get into all the stories) and relatively fast-paced.
