Valerie Martin is a remarkable and respected novelist (Property and The Ghost of the Mary Celeste, to name just two fantastic books), and she’s not nearly as well known for short stories as she ought to be. Perhaps Sea Lovers: Selected Stories will remedy that situation with twelve polished and impeccably controlled stories that run the gamut from domestic drama (“The Change,” in which a menopausal artists reaches new levels of power while simultaneously trashing her marriage, and “Spats,” in which a wronged woman seriously contemplates wreaking vengeance on the dogs her husband deeply loves) to the mythological (a mermaid in “Sea Lovers” and a centaur in “Et In Arcadiana Ego”). What they have in common is a deep curiosity about the nature of humanity: Just how different are we from the rest of the animal kingdom? It’s a question worth contemplating with a writer as accomplished as Martin. (Reviewed on Lit/Rant: www.litrant.tumblr.com) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
