«Pequeños cuentos misóginos» is a collection of short stories by Patricia Highsmith, published by Alfaguara in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
With a dry, ironic style, Highsmith turns seemingly ordinary female characters into sadistic or self-destructive figures. The stories subvert stereotypes of women and reveal the dark side of everyday life; «La bailarina», «La novelista» and «La ñoña» are among her most representative titles.
Work originally published in English as Little Tales of Misogyny; the Spanish translation is by Maribel de Juan.
For readers of satirical short stories and psychological suspense, as well as for those who want to discover the most ironic side of Patricia Highsmith.
