Chicas Serias (Spanish Edition) - Softcover

IN Spanish, translation: Serious Girls. Synopsis by By Laura Ramos: Oh, boarding schools for girls! Many mysteries hidden! Condenses the girls' boarding school, in its iconography and flushed dark, cloistered in his tone, secrets, ambiguities and morbidity of the rites of passage for girls literature. The pensioner invented, or reinvented, orphans as mood, as the twilight scenery. Girls serious falls within the spirit of the classic books of internees, in more contemporary terms, in the genre "literature of girls," written just for girls (or friendly snoops and perverted). The pensioner, located on the banks of a small town near New York, home to nine girls dressed in royal blue robes that emulate the uniform of brown cloth inside the Lowood of Jane Eyre. For what it must be said? Everything, everything happens after the Brontës (and Silvina Ocampo). The heroines of Maxine Swann (Swann!) Are anomalous beings, misplaced, dislocated the order that should belong to the school. The production of the book itself is anomalous: it is written originally in English by a young American living in Buenos Aires. The landscape of the Northern Hemisphere, the cold winters, the neutral language of translation, snow-covered pine trees give off an air of bewilderment that estrangement is no stranger to chasing girls like a gray cloud and stubborn.
