Guadalupe Nettel published Natural Histories in 2013, a collection of short fiction translated into English by J.T. Lichtenstein. The stories center on characters who are slightly out of step with the world around them, people defined by their peculiarities and the private logic that governs their daily lives.
Nettel’s short fiction shares the same preoccupations as her novels: bodies that refuse to cooperate, relationships that are more complicated than they appear on the surface, and moments of recognition that arrive without warning. Readers who enjoy her novels will find the same attentive, unsettling voice at work in these shorter pieces.
