A Manual for Cleaning Women
Lucia Berlin
Synopsis "A Manual for Cleaning Women"
One of The New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of 2015One of Jezebel's Favorite Books of 2016A Manual for Cleaning Women compiles the best work of the legendary short-story writer Lucia Berlin. With the grit of Raymond Carver, the humor of Grace Paley, and a blend of wit and melancholy all her own, Berlin crafts miracles from the everyday, uncovering moments of grace in the Laundromats and halfway houses of the American Southwest, in the homes of the Bay Area upper class, among switchboard operators and struggling mothers, hitchhikers and bad Christians. Readers will revel in this remarkable collection from a master of the form and wonder how they'd ever overlooked her in the first place. "Perhaps, with the present collection, Lucia Berlin will begin to gain the attention she deserves." -Lydia Davis
(1936-2004) publicó sus primeros relatos a los veinticuatro años. Toda su literatura se inspira en sus propios recuerdos: su infancia en distintas poblaciones mineras de Idaho, Kentucky y Montana, su glamurosa adolescencia en Santiago de Chile, sus estancias en El Paso, Nueva York, México o California, sus tres matrimonios fallidos, su alcoholismo o los distintos puestos de trabajo que desempeñó para poder mantener a sus cuatro hijos: enfermera, telefonista, limpiadora, profesora de escritura en distintas universidades y en una cárcel. Publicó seis libros de cuentos y ha sido galardonada en numerosas oportunidades.
