Intro:<\/strong><\/p>\n An NYRB Classics Original<\/p>\n Silvina Ocampo is undoubtedly one of the twentieth century\u2019s great masters of the short story. Italo Calvino once said about her, \u201cI don\u2019t know another writer who better captures the magic inside everyday rituals, the forbidden or hidden face that our mirrors don\u2019t show us.\u201d Thus Were Their Faces collects a wide range of Ocampo\u2019s best short fiction and novella-length stories from her whole writing life. Stories about creepy doubles, a marble statue of a winged horse that speaks to a girl, a house of sugar that is the site of an eerie possession, children who lock their perverse mothers in a room and burn it, a lapdog who records the dreams of an old woman.<\/p>\n Jorge Luis Borges wrote that the cruelty of Ocampo\u2019s stories was the result of her nobility of soul, a judgment as paradoxical as much of her own writing. For her whole life Ocampo avoided the public eye, though since her death in 1993 her reputation has only continued to grow, like a magical forest. Dark, gothic, fantastic, and grotesque, these haunting stories are among the world\u2019s finest.. First published January 1, 1988. Original format: Paperback.
