Description: "A collection of two one-act plays and a monologue focusing on the decadence of contemporary Nicaragua. The title play, containing meta-theatrical elements, deals with the violent psychological impact of social unrest on the younger generation. 'Toda mujer feliz se suicida por la tarde' explores a mother/daughter relationship and the impossibility of forgetting past memories. In 'A la sombra de una luz oscura' a woman uses her imagination to reveal herself at different ages, and finally chooses insanity to escape a reality that is too cruel"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
