The best of contemporary Argentine author Cecilia Pavn's short stories.Poet, writer and translator Cecilia Pavn emerged in the late 1990s as one of the most prolific and central figures of the young Argentine literary scenethe socalled "Generation of the 90s": artists and writers whose aesthetics and politics were an earnest response to the disastrous impact of Americanexported neoliberal policies and the resulting economic crisis of 2001. Their publications were fragilexeroxed, painted on cardboardbut their cultural impact, indelible.A cofounder of Buenos Aires's independent art space and publishing press Belleza y Felicidadwhere a whole generation of soontobefamous Argentine artists showed for the first timePavn pioneered the use of "unpoetic" and intimate content, her verses often lifted from text messages or chatrooms, her tone often impish, yet brutally sincere. Fellow Argentine poet Marina Yuszczuk once wrote, "Pavn's writing is filled with minor illuminations and conjectures; her syntax is the syntax of commas, 'buts,' and disjunctives, thoughts and impressions organized into a current that flows, branches off, and stands still."In 2015, Pavn's first volume of collected poems, A Hotel With My Name, was published in English. Contemporary writers in the US, Australasia and Europe discovered a deep affinity with her work. Pavn's protagonists, Ariana Reines noted, "are absolute women, guileless dreamers, saints in sneakers, on sidewalks, in jail, in Zara, on buses, in nightclubs, in bed."Translated by Pavn's own poetic protg Jacob Steinberg, Little Joy collects the best of Pavn's short stories written between 19992020, originally published in three volumes in Spanish.
