The Oval Portrait

Contemporary Cuban Women Writers and Artists

Übersetzer: Randall, Margaret

Beschreibung

The Oval Portrait was originally published as El retrato ovalado. Soleida Ríos set a difficult task for herself and nearly three dozen other Cuban women writers, artists, and thinkers. She asked each to ""choose a mask. With it she spins her story so that her own image appears in the story as well as the connection (always mysterious) and the symbol with which she has chosen to represent herself.
