...brief work of only 150 pages, told in dense four-page episodes, “Death in Spring” creates a world at once strange and familiar: a nameless town characterized by brutal, gratuitous violence and the prevalence of the bizarre, narrated through an unusual set of eyes??those of a teenage boy. Rodoreda’s narrator is a remarkably dispassionate protagonist, remarking in turns on the macabre and the surreal with unflinching ambivalence.Comparison is impossible to resist, as Rodoreda chooses to pitch her tent so deliberately close to that of other writers.

...presidential campaign trail last week, Hillary Clinton was thrown what appeared to be a softball: “How do you do it? How do you keep so upbeat and wonderful?” And then it happened. A catch in her voice, a gleam in her eyes??was she crying? Even as Hillary spoke—“It’s not easy, and I couldn’t do it if I didn’t passionately believe it was the right thing to do”—you could sense...
