Abstract:
"Claudia and the Cats" is a concise portrait of femicide, of a specific strain of violence which seeks to corral and control women, while simultaneously, blindly, denying these habits. This short story challenges the obscenely superficial, pornographic, and victimizing ways in which narratives of femicide often appear in the popular press in Guatemala, and in many Latin American nations. --Lindsay Romanoff Bartlett, the translator.
