Book excerpt: The life of a wealthy landowner's wife is turned upside down when she visits the Spanish Court in 17th century Mexico.
A thrilling and passionate debut about a sheltered landowner’s wife whose life is turned upside down when she visits the royal court in seventeenth-century Mexico. When Josefina accepts an invitation from the Marquessa to come stay and socialize with the intellectual and cultural elite in her royal court, she is overwhelmed by the Court’s complicated world. She finds herself having to fight off aggressive advances from the Marquessa’s husband, but is ultimately unable to stay true to her marriage vows when she becomes involved in a secret affair with the local bishop that leaves her pregnant. Amidst this drama, Josefina finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the intellectual nuns who study and write poetry at the risk of persecution by the Spanish Inquisition that is overtaking Mexico. One nun in particular, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, teaches Josefina about poetry, writing, critical thinking, the nature and consequences of love, and the threats of the Holy Office. She is Josefina’s mentor and lynchpin for her tumultuous passage from grounded wife and mother to woman of this treacherous, confusing, and ultimately physically and intellectually fulfilling world.

The Journey Prize Anthologycelebrates its fifth anniversary with a selection, made with the assistance of Guy Vanderhaeghe, of eleven accomplished pieces of short fiction by some of the finest new voices in Canadian writing. The stories, with settings as varied as Alberta, Australia, Ireland, and El Salvador, tell of generational conflicts and resolutions, of how the past illuminates the present, and of how life must go on, even in the face of loss. Among the stories: The fates of a desperate young woman, a vain military man, and a weary Canadian news team collide dramatically amid the violence of a Central American civil war; in a story about the complications of middle age, the tensions between a visiting teenage son, his mother, and her new partner are broken when a moose inexplicably appears in their suburban swimming pool; a celebrated writer, learning that a friend and former lover is HIV-positive, confronts the limitations of his ability to love; in a strangely erotic tale, a misfit from a small North American town finds an unusual occupation in Japan; the funeral of a young man’s beloved grandfather climaxes with a procession of Voodoo gods; a man, seduced by his daughter’s roommate, has to overcome his guilt and shame to try to do what is best for his fatherless grandson; looking through old snapshots, an Australian woman gains insight into her unconventional mother's experiences as a wartime nurse. The winner of the $10,000 Journey Prize for 1993 was Gayla Reid, for “Sister Doyle’s Men.”

This book explores how silences in Carmen Martín Gaite's novels affect narrative communication and the reader. Focusing on Entre visillos (1957), El cuarto de atrás (1978), and Nubosidad variable (1992), this study shows how silences inhere in Martín Gaite's narrative style, especially in the distinctive ways that her novels create interlocution and communicate feminist messages. It also probes how silences in the author's narrative relate to historical and social conditions in Spain and to various literary periods and genres. «Silence» as a literary term can be ambiguous because critics give it many different meanings and often without specifying types of silences. Accordingly, the book typologizes narrative silences and their roles in narrative communication. This study reveals that in Martín Gaite's novels, women's silences become over time more a means for creative expression and personal growth than a result of oppression.
