A dozen unforgettable stories by “one of the most original writers at work today” (Wyatt Mason, The New York Times Book Review ). Slippery figures in anomalous situations ― ghosts, spies, bodyguards, criminals ― haunt these stories by Javier Marías: the characters come bearing their strange and special secrets, and never leave our minds. In one story, a man obsessed with his much younger lover endlessly videotapes her every move, and then confides his surprising plans for her; in another a ghost can’t stop resigning from his job. Masterfully, Marías manages in a small space to perplex and delight. “The short story fits Marías like a glove,” as Le Point noted. His stories have been hailed as “formidably intelligent” ( The London Review of Books ), “a bracing tonic” ( Chicago Tribune ), and “startling” ( The New York Times Book Review )
