Short stories from the cursed mother of magical realism (El Mundo), now in English for the first time:

A woman flits between two realities centuries apart, as scenes from the violent conquest of Mexico bleed their way into her comfortable contemporary life. Two little girls visit the home of a sorcerer who tortures women named after the days of the week. Girls become dogs, a laborer hides human bones in bricks hell use to build a new development, and an old woman appears at an acquaintances door one night with a knife and a bone-chilling confession.

WithThe Week of Colors, Elena Garro laid the groundwork for the literary movements that would shape the landscape of Latin American fiction and beyond. Here youll find the early roots of magical realism, feminist horror, and anticolonial speculative fiction. InThe Week of Colors, Garro highlights the violence in our history, our homes, and our hearts, in vivid color.
