Sylvia is such an exquisite prose writer, too bad I can only digest a few stories a day - that's the trouble with short stories! Even her diary entries are so much different from what/how people normally write. She's able to turn banalities like the neighbors' lives into fine pieces of prose or a landlady in Benidorm into a delicious latino character that even Almodovar would envy. Now I really have to try her poetry.
