Reseña del libro "Leaving Letitia Street (en Inglés)"
Leaving Letitia Street collects eleven short stories by a prizewinning author, Jacqueline Simon, who stopped publishing in the mid-1990s, only to resurface twenty-five years later with a collection that is as varied and moving as the problems that can engulf ordinary people dealing with the individuals they love best. Simon's stories contain no mysteries, other than those of the human heart; there are no throbbing romances, other than the ones her characters might dream about. No politics, no dastardly crimes. What the stories do is entertain: they make the reader smile and sometimes laugh out loud when they recognize the foolishness-or perhaps the emotional illiteracy-that they themselves might be capable of perpetrating. But the stories are also serious, even the delicious spoof on the old myth of Atalanta, the original food-and-fitness goddess. Simon puts the difficulties of dating, love, marriage, family and aging under a forensic microscope. Her characters struggle with dilemmas that transcend the decades: who should one marry? Who do you turn to when the people you're surrounded by have no idea what's important? How much do you owe to yourself versus what you owe to others? Simon's stories prove that good fiction is as timeless as family itself, and that good intentions and even love do not necessarily solve anything. The unforgettable southerners of Letitia Street are as recognizable as the face in one's own mirror, one generation influencing the next, pulling apart or forging ahead, coming together and linking the ties that bind with those that are probably best broken. Jacqueline Simon's stories may go down like chocolates, but they are the work of a writer who pierces the reader's heart with words both chiseled and compassionate.
