{"product_id":"the-week-of-colors-elena-garro-9781949641899","title":"The Week of Colors","description":"Often cited as the true inventor of magical realism (which she rejected as a \"cheap marketing label\"), Elena Garro brings her characters--women and their maids, unsupervised children, the abused and dispossessed--to life with sharp dialogue and unparalleled imagination. A woman flits between two realities centuries apart, as violent scenes from the conquest of Mexico bleed their way into her comfortable contemporary life. Two little girls visit the home of a sorcerer who tortures women named after the days of the week. Girls become dogs, a laborer hides human bones in bricks he'll use to build a house, and an old woman shows up at an acquaintance's door one night with a knife and a bone-chilling confession. In \u003ci\u003eThe Week of Colors\u003c\/i\u003e, Garro highlights the violence in our history, our homes, and our hearts, in vivid color.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elena Garro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949641899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949641899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Two Lines Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Elena Garro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46795526242559,"sku":"9781949641899","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ddcad09-8464-4d51-8fd0-68ea761a1164.jpg?v=1744947876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-week-of-colors-elena-garro-9781949641899","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
