🦋 More Spanish stories
I've been poking around in Cuentos Españoles this weekend -- I got another similar book yesterday, Cuentos en Español (Penguin, 1999)* and the story that really caught my attention was La indiferencia de Eva, by Soledad Puértolas. The pace and rhythm of the story are almost perfect and I'm finding it easy to identify with her characters, to place myself in her scenes. I would like recommendations for further reading of her work, if any of you have read it -- she has several novels and collections of short stories, though I am finding nothing in translation.**
 * and apparently Penguin also published bilingual collections of Spanish stories in 1966 and 1972 -- I'm surprised at how much of this I am finding! ** This is wrong -- the novel Bordeaux has been translated; and at least Google Books thinks that one of her stories appears in the collection After Henry James, though I haven't been able to find any reference to this collection elsewhere.

Hiya,
I'm trying to get my hands on 'La indiferencia de Eva' on the internet, in English or Spanish, but can't find any copies, only books that i have to order, and i'm tight on time. Do you have any ideas if there are any texts or websites that have it there?
Gracias.

Sorry, I don't know of any -- I read it in Cuentos Españoles which I found in Barnes & Noble.
