Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumor growing in her brain. As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again—and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children—she begins to recall what’s most important to her: long walks with her husband’s hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights, and always buying that dress when she sees it.

Originally published in 1953, Go Tell It on the Mountain was James Baldwin's first major work, based in part on his own childhood in Harlem.

Los cuentos de Las invitadas -publicado originariamente en 1961- son una ventana abierta a un mundo familiar y perturbador a la vez, donde la realidad más prosaica se desliza sutilmente hacia la irrealidad o hacia esa zona de lo real que pertenece a lo desconocido. Entremezclada con las frases donde relampaguea un humor rebelde, la ambigüedad está acentuada por la mirada inocente que la autora parece arrojar sobre los objetos y las personas que la rodean, como si los contemplara por primera vez. O como si los creara por el solo hecho de nombrarlos.
