About this product
Product Information
One of the most important and watched writers of today. Intricately woven masterpieces of craft, mournful for their human cries in defiance of our sometimes less than human surroundings, Nettel's stories and novels are dazzlingly enjoyable to read for their deep interest in human foibles. Following on the critical successes of her previous books, here are six stories that capture her unsettling, obsessive universe. "Ptosis" is told from the point of view of the son of a photographer whose work involves before and after pictures of patients undergoing cosmetic eye surgeries. In "Through Shades," a woman studies a man interacting with a woman through the windows of the apartment across the street. In one of the longer stories, "Bonsai," a man visits a garden, and comes to know a gardener, during the period of dissolution of his marriage. "The Other Side of the Dock" describes a young girl in search of what she terms "True Solitude," who finds a fellow soul mate only to see the thing they share lose its meaning. In "Petals," a woman's odor drives a man to search for her, and even to find her, without quenching the thirst that is his undoing. And the title story, "Bezoar," is an intimate journal of a patient writing to a doctor. Each narrative veers towards unknown and dark corridors, and the pleasures of these accounts lie partly in the great surprise of the familiarity together with the strangeness.

Reviews
"Bezoar is a delicate, magnetic carousel. Each story rises into view after the previous one,singular and unsettling, showing us that there is beauty to be found in every defect, andleaving us genuinely astonished at the mesmerising reflections it casts." -Samanta Schweblin "The haunting stories in this collection feature characters that inhabit bodies which arestrange places, so much so that they lose their human form, or are subjected to macabreinvestigations or perverse compulsions. Voyeurs, symbiosis, metamorphosis, fluids; thelinks here are hazy, the relationships with other beings, mutant. Guadalupe Nettelreminds us that there is nothing stranger than existence lived in these containers made of flesh, blood and madness." - Mariana Enríquez

The transaction as easy, delivery as promised, well packaged. The pants are of excellent quality but not true to size. I bought a size up and that wasn’t enough.
