To write is also to bear witness, to resist the dehumanization of the world, and to tell and reveal. - Marjorie Agosín

Translations are like crossings of borders, crossings of landscapes, crossings of voices.

Spanish is not only the language of my soul, but it’s the language of the memory, of my emotions, the first language I began to write and to think in.

For the majority of readers, Latin American fantastic literature operates under the tutelage of the great masters: Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Julio Cortázar and Gabriel García Márquez. However, although few are acquainted with their works, many women began experimenting with this genre well before their male counterparts and were the true precursors of the form, though their names remained on the shelves of oblivion, without the recognition that they deserved. María Luisa Bombal, for example, wrote the fantastic nouvelle, House of Mist (1937) before the famous Ficciones (1944) of Borges, and the Mexican, Elena Garro, wrote Remembrance of Things to Come (1962) before the publication of García Márquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967).
