Durante el fin de semana me enteré del fallecimiento de Amparo Dávila.
Called “extraordinary” by Julio Cortazár and revered by Spanish readers, Dávila made her English debut at 90 with her story collection The Houseguest translated by Audrey Harris and Matt Gleeson.
To honor her memory, we make available here her story “Oscar” published in The Houseguest in 2018.
