«Eau de toilette y otros relatos» is Joanne Harris's collection of short stories, published by Debolsillo in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
These stories by Joanne Harris feature impertinent old women, unusual witches, ageing monsters, werewolves, dolphin women and other extravagant characters. The miraculous coexists with the everyday, the sour with the sweet, and the beautiful with the grotesque and sinister, in tales that combine humour and strangeness.
Published in 2007 in the Best Seller collection by Debolsillo, translated by Laura Martín de Dios.
A suitable read for those who enjoy contemporary fiction and short stories with fantastical elements.
Joanne Michèle Sylvie Harris is a British author, best known for her 1999 novel Chocolat, which was adapted into a film of the same name. Born in Barnsley, Yorkshire, of a French mother and a British father, she was a teacher of French for 15 years and had published three novels during this period before the surprise success of Chocolat enabled her to write full time. Since then she has written over 30 books in a number of genres, including fantasy, psychological thriller, novellas, short stories and non-fiction. Harris' books often feature themes of women's empowerment, folklore, motherhood, community, outsiders and outcasts, and food.
