La Senora Cornelia
Esta obra se inspira en los elementos habituales de las novelas italianas de enredo, que tienen gran cantidad de elementos teatrales y ciertos elementos ejemplarizantes. En un principio Cornelia seduce al lector por su amor sincero y su deseo de liberarse de una vida de encierro. Sin embargo, algunos detalles revelaran su imprudencia. En este relato cada situacion es el resultado en conflicto de una situacion anterior, lo que provocara diferentes versiones, que en ocasiones seran semejantes y en otras diferentes.

On Not Knowing
Moments of clarity are rare and fleeting; how can we become comfortable outside of them, in the more general condition of uncertainty within which we make our lives? Written by critic Emily Ogden while her children were small, On Not Knowing forays into this rich, ambivalent space. Each of her sharply observed essays invites the reader to think with her about questions she can't set aside: not knowing how to give birth, to listen, to hold it together, to love. Unapologetically capacious in her range of reference and idiosyncratic in the canon she draws on, Ogden moves nimbly among the registers of experience, from the operation of a breast pump to the art of herding cattle; from one-night stands to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.Committed to the accumulation of knowledge, Ogden nonetheless finds that knowingness for her can be a way of getting stuck, a way of not really living. Rather than the defensiveness of wilful ignorance, On Not Knowing celebrates the defencelessness of not knowing yet - which, Ogden suggests, may be a form of love.
