Whimsical and sinister, each story by Silvina Ocampo is like a knife of spun
sugar that can still pierce between your ribs. A thief breaks into the house of
a psychic with disastrous results, a bride has her personality subsumed by the
previous occupant of her home, and two men switch destinies for a change of
pace. The Impostor offers a comprehensive collection from one of the twentieth
century's great forgotten woman writers. Here are tales of doubles and living
dolls, angels and demons, a beautiful seer who writes the autobiography of her
own death, and much else that is mad, sublime, and delicious. With an array
spanning the length of Ocampo's career, these haunting stories are among the
world's strangest and best.
