Sideways Glance | Anna Lidia Vega Serova

from £2.99

“It is ridiculous to cling to any object, any being, any fact, any goal.”

This is a book about the most everyday of objects. Anna Lidia Vega Serova brings together the fragments of a life, outlines that become confessions or discoveries. Here she presents a vision of the surrounding world through the briefest of glances – playing, always playing.

Sideways Glance is a collection of vignettes (illustrated by the author herself) which – like a mosaic, like a musical fusion, like the life of a person or a nation – have been broken and pieced back together over and over again. Translated into English from the original Spanish by Annery Rivera Velasco and Jonathan Curry-Machado.

(Marilyn Bobes)

“This is not a traditional book of stories…. but a collection of literary prints, in which the author assembles and disassembles much that happens in everyday life, while touching the deepest of emotions.”
(Marta Rojas)

“Anna Lidia Vega Serova is one of the most provocative voices of the current Cuban literary scene.”
