We Women Are All One Shadow

Forthcoming 2027 from World Editions:

When alone with ourselves, what do we women say? Chilean author Catalina Infante Beovic pulls back the curtain on our innermost monologue at an explosive moment in our global conversation on gender and human rights. This 8-story collection deals in loss, coping, shadows, and silence. Employing a stream-of-consciousness, fragmentary style, Infante Beovic’s prose creates tension between silence and speech, tugging at the concept of the personal being political while carefully guarding boundaries. Infante Beovic places the reader alone with the protagonist, beholden to what she (or they, or we) says, or chooses not to say.

Organized to grow increasingly abstract as the reader progresses, the collection can be read as a composite novel—with women as a collective protagonist and recurring themes and character traits—or each story can stand alone, creating a multi-voice narrative that features a diversity of genres including the fantastic, speculative fiction, and flash fiction.
