Call Me Magdalena (Latin American Women Writers)

the long version

"Erotic entanglements, startling revelations, a furtive intruder, even a possible murder? Not at all what the students of Mind Control class envisioned when they gathered on a ranch outside Buenos Aires for a relaxing weekend. But here nothing is quite what it seems, least of all Magdalena herself, who while recounting the weekend's events, changes her name as often as she changes her mind. Within the framework of a murder mystery, Alicia Steimberg weaves a tale far more concerned with who-is-it than with whodunit. Magdalena conducts us through her tortuous childhood as an Argentine Jew and through her doubts about morality and mortality, the existence of God, and the amorphous nature of identity."--BOOK JACKET.
