The bestselling Argentine writer known for her compelling short stories and novels shares how great audiobooks feed her love of literature. One of the best things that has happened to me has been the discovery of audiobooks. I find it fascinating to be able to listen to powerful, beautiful, complex stories while I exercise or do housework. Audiobooks allow me to stay connected to one of my passions: literature. That's why I am recommending five books that I hope you enjoy as much as I have.

She is relatively safe from the worst of it, locked inside a religious order where she is deemed an Unworthy but strives to become Enlightened. Bazterrica’s novella vividly sows discomfort via both its plot and the way the words appear on the page.

Alguien grita en la oscuridad. Espero que sea Lourdes. Le puse cucarachas en la almohada y cosí la funda para que les cueste salir, para que caminen debajo de su cabeza o sobre su cara (ojalá se le metan en los oídos y aniden en los tímpanos y sienta cómo las crías le lastiman el cerebro).
