      About This Book

      Twelve short stories by "the most subtle and gifted writer in contemporary Spanish literature" (The Boston Globe)—and the award-winning, international bestselling author of The Infatuations.

      Victims of mistaken identity, sponging relatives, amateur sleuths, eavesdroppers, professional liars, assassins, and failed bodyguards populate the short stories in When I Was Mortal. Plots turn on curious exigencies--a woman about to star in her first porn film; a night doctor who adds new meaning to "specialist"; a ghost whose neglect is greatly resented.
