Miranda France schafft fesselnde Erzählungen, die sich mit den Feinheiten menschlicher Erfahrungen auseinandersetzen, oft vor lebendigen und eindrucksvollen Kulissen. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch einen lyrischen Prosa-Stil und scharfe Einblicke in die Komplexität von Beziehungen und kulturellen Begegnungen aus. France's Werk konfrontiert mutig unbequeme Wahrheiten und regt die Leser an, ihre eigenen Vorurteile und Annahmen zu hinterfragen. Ihr literarischer Ansatz ist sowohl zugänglich als auch tiefgründig, was sie zu einer unverwechselbaren Stimme in der zeitgenössischen Literatur macht.

A funny and poignant account of life in Buenos Aires, by a young prize-winning writer. In 1993 Miranda France moved to South America, drawn to Buenos Aires as the intellectual hub of the continent, with its wealth of writers and its romantic, passionate and tragic history. She found that is was all these things, but it was also a terrible place to live. The inhabitants of Buenos Aires are famously unhappy. All over South America they are known for their arrogance, their fixation of Europe and their moodiness. Very soon, Miranda France encounters' bronca' - the simmering and barely controllable rage that is a staple feature of life in the Argentinian capital. She finds that 'bronca' has deep roots: the violence and racism of the first European settlers; the dictatorships, especially in the 1970s when so many 'disappeared'; even Evita Peron, for there was no rage to rival Evita's.
