Synopsis "Pájaros a Punto de Volar (Compactos) (in Spanish)"

La publicación póstuma de estos textos escritos entre 1938 y 1949 fue todo un acontecimiento literario. No son historias de suspense ni historias de animales, sino relatos psicológicos. Nos presentan a una joven escritora demasiado tímida para revelar todo su talento, pero que logró un temprano éxito al expresar una vida turbulenta. Catorce narraciones que hablan de habitantes de las grandes ciudades sin hogar, de niñas espabiladas, de amantes atrapados en sus sueños y de hombres y mujeres tristes y baqueteados por la vida. La monotonía de lo familiar, la magia de una ansiada afinidad de espíritu y los fatigados pasos de figuras abocadas al dolor aparecen captados con un gran derroche de tacto, con enorme simpatía y con una asombrosa sensibilidad para los detalles incisivos.

She was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1921, but moved to New York when she was six years old. By the age of sixteen, she became a writer. She was known for being a solitary person. She moved to Europe in 1963 and spent her last years in a secluded house near Locarno, on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Upon her death, she left three million dollars from her estate to Yaddo, the artists' community in upstate New York. Her first novel Strangers on a Train, was turned into a famous movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. Her last novel Small g: A Summer Idyll was published posthumously just over a month later.
