The Right Intention
Andrés Barba, Lisa Dillman (translation)°°°
"Barba is a master of the novella . . . A gorgeous, fully realized collection." — Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"The four novellas in Barba’s wonderful & intense new collection share a melancholy sensibility & a yearning, born of persistent loneliness." — Publishers Weekly
"The destructive consequences of those obsessions, traced with an almost clinical precision, are the substance of Barba’s absorbing, unnerving stories." — Words Without Borders
