oxdubs's review against another edition

These stories often feature characters who undergo transformations of mind, body and/or spirit, told in a pared-down, oblique style of omitted words and pauses in odd places, producing a striking effect I won't be forgetting.

creo que tendría que releer el libro para poder darle un rating más conciso considerando su magnitud. 
hay historias (cuentos) que no lograron cautivarme, pero en su mayoría todos trajeron consigo cierta facilidad en su digestión, a pesar de ser lispector. 
sus temáticas constantes: la domesticidad, el arte de la seducción, la feminidad y la maternidad, se probaron entretenidas y la mayor parte de mis cuentos favoritos estaban involucrados con esos themes. no puedo abandonar a lispector, al parecer.
siento que mi mayor problema dentro de la escritura es la fragmentación de ciertos textos, y como sentía que no llegaban a mucho en ciertos casos, pero eran mínimos, entonces… no se. 
me gustó la colección, pero sigo prefiriendo sus novelas.
