Title: Esther Tusquets
Description: The present volume reviews and revisits the life and work of Spanish writer, editor, and intellectual Esther Tusquets (1936{u2013}2012). The author of some seven novels, three collections of short stories, two books for children, seven volumes of essays and memoirs, and an extensive corpus of journalistic and other short prose texts, Tusquets{u2019}s contributions to contemporary Spanish culture and literature are vast and heterogeneous. Most academic scholarship to date has been dedicated to Tusquets{u2019}s groundbreaking novelistic trilogy (El mismo mar de todos los veranos [1978], El amor es un juego solitario [1979], Varada tras el último naufragio [1980]) and to her unified short-story collection, Siete miradas en el mismo paisaje (1979). The essays contained in Esther Tusquets: Scholarly Correspondences offer new readings of the author{u2019}s canonical fiction and delve into the largely unexplored terrain of her non-fiction.
