Carme Riera, hailed as a dominant literary force in Spain, has long merited recognition in other countries. Her prose, with all its intricacy, humour, and grace, has been skilfully transported from Castilian and Catalan to English, and has been brought to our shores with its riches intact. Her stories focus on a broad range of characters-predominantly female-from the intellectually sophisticated to the plain and domestic, from younger to older, and each is given a perfect voice. The stories in this collection: ""A Matter of Self-Esteem,"" ""Mon Semblabe, Mon Frere,"" ""Against Love in Company,"" ""The Seductive Genuis,"" ""Report,"" ""Surprise at Sri Lanka,"" and ""Recipe Book"" display a wide variety of narrative. In ""A Matter of Self-Esteem,"" Angela, a writer in her late forties, falls passionately in love with Miguel, who humiliates her by using their brief affair as material for a novel which she is caricatured-Angela puts into play a revenge that is sheer genius. In ""Against Love in Company,"" Coral Flora, a teenager who is a gifted erotic poet marries a seventy-year-old man who cannot satisfy her sexually-she discovers a quite simple solution. The author weaves her seductive web; the reader can do nothing less than be drawn into it.

Spanning a century, from Kate Chopin and Fannie Hurst to J. California Cooper and Elana Dykewomon, this bold and deeply satisfying anthology of women's stories explores women's relationships to, and perceptions of, their physical selves. Addressing the peculiarities, the pleasures, and the shames of body politics, these stories of bodies that refuse to be contained offer a variety of perspectives on fully inhabiting the flesh. Whether celebrating bodies deemed transgressive or simply daring to acknowledge that such bodies exist, these diverse literary representations of fatness render the excessive body brilliantly, unapologetically visible.
