Mean Woman: Latin American Women Writers
Autor Alicia Borinsky Traducere de Cola Franzenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 1993
What is a woman to do? Mean Woman raises and answers the question time and again. The female characters in the novel rule countries, are oppressed, and rise again individually and in groups. Shifting scenes of Latin American politics are evoked in kaleidoscopic play. Swaggering heroines of tango, the Argentines Eva and Isabelita Perón, the itinerant Filipina Imelda Marcos, and their male consorts may be glimpsed in a vision whose sustained humor dazzles us with the conundrums of violence, machismo, and exile.

Recenzii
"This horrifying yet humorous novel depicts life in a terrifying, sexually charged world of dictatorships and disappearances."—Library Journal (Translated by Cola Franzen)
"This joyful account, written with contagious pleasure and destined as a gift for the reader, contains such a mix of rose-color romance and off-colored smut, the ridiculous sublime, so much punch that we find ourselves, reader and author, immersed by the torrent of figures."—Saúl Yurkievich, University of Paris
"A perfect delight."—Francine Masiello, author of Between Civilization and Barbarism: Women, Nation, and Literary Culture in Modern Argentina (Nebraska, 1992)
