«Asesinato en la oscuridad» is a collection of short stories by Margaret Atwood, published by Ediciones B. in paperback (105 pages, in Spanish).
Brief literary diversions in which Margaret Atwood ironizes about the myths of our time and lays bare human behaviour, public and private, with relentless humour. Characters from Shakespeare, romance novels, action and mystery populate old plots in new contexts; behind them lurks a disquieting relationship with everyday reality.
The cover indicates the 2008 Princess of Asturias Award for Literature and that it is a limited edition. Original title: 'Murder in the Dark'. Translation by M.ª Antonia Menini.
For readers of short fiction and followers of Margaret Atwood: a sample of her relentless humour and critical gaze on the everyday.
