Escritos cuando tenía unos veinticinco años y vivía en Francia con su marido, el poeta y banquero norteamericano Hugh Parker Guiler, estos dieciséis relatos inéditos en castellano sorprenden por su madurez y frescura, a la vez que muestran ya los dos elementos que luego se afianzarían en su obra —la ironía y el feminismo— y también sus obsesiones —el deseo femenino, la sexualidad, el adulterio, la belleza y el retrato de una masculinidad tan deslumbradora como tóxica—. Algunas de estas historias están protagonizadas por claros de Nin; otras, por apasionadas bailarinas de flamenco, misteriosos extranjeros, músicos... Poco después de escribir estos cuentos, Nin conocerá a Henry Miller, que diría de ella: «Cuando trato de imaginar de quién es deudor tu estilo, me siento frustrado, no recuerdo a nadie con el que tengas el más ligero parecido. Me recuerdas únicamente a ti misma». Melancólicos y punzantes, revelan ya a una gran autora que hizo saltar por los aires las convenciones literarias y sociales de su época. — Written when she was about twenty-five years old and living in France with her husband, American poet and banker Hugh Parker Guiler, these sixteen stories, never before published in Spanish, amaze by their maturity and freshness, while at the same time starting to display the two elements that would later take hold of her work —irony and feminism— and also her obsessions: female desire, sexuality, adultery, beauty, and the portrayal of a masculinity as dazzling as it is toxic. Some of these stories clearly have as protagonists some of Nin’s alter egos; while others have passionate flamenco dancers, mysterious foreigners, musicians ... Shortly after writing these stories, Nin would meet Henry Miller, who said this about her: “When I try to imagine who you owe credit to for your unique style, I get frustrated, I can’t think of anyone with whom you have the slightest resemblance. You only remind me of yourself.” Melancholic and intense, these stories reveal a great author who blew up the literary and social standards of her time.
