THE seven short stories in You Glow in the Dark (New Directions, £11.99) by Bolivian writer Liliana Colanzi offer a unique blend. Everyday experiences and the fantastic merge in unusual ways, depicting a world that is both familiar and intriguingly different.
The book, translated by Chris Andrews and winner of the prestigious International Prize for Short Fiction Ribera del Duero, is predominantly set in Andean and Amazonian landscapes.
It delves deep into themes such as violence, femininity, motherhood, family, fear and illness, engaging the reader in a thought-provoking journey.
