Lies I Didn't Tell You

By Elma Correa

The eight short stories in Lies I Didn't Tell You are a scathing portrait of borders, both geographical and personal. Pierced with violence, loneliness and desperation, these dividing lines are a space of permanent transgression. This is true for visible conflicts - breakups, failed plans, parties that end in torture-as well as the main characters' feelings of profound ambivalence. They are morras, whose strength lies in their ability to sway between innocence and perversity, reality and hallucination, euphoria and sorrow. While there may be contextual similarities in her characters (they are all women from the north of Mexico), Elma Correa's precise and dynamic prose has assembled a surprising diversity of voices that share an essential trait: they love in the way that only broken people can love. - Ana Fuente
