Exercises in Immobility

Original Title: Ejercicios de inmovilidad

The female characters in Ejercicios de inmovilidad feel a bitter estrangement from the world around them. Afflicted by paralysing indolence, these gallery owners, writers, muses, and carers condemned to seclusion in disquieting liminal spaces know that something is lacking. The refined narrative voice of Sònia Hernández, inheritor of the best literature of the absurd, constructs a tangible reality that then becomes a toehold for words giving shape to disconcerting stories that venture into the meanderings of fantasy, while also testifying to the skills of a born storyteller.
