    I read the English translation of Herztier, entitled The Land of the Green Plums, though I think a literal translation of the original title <I>Heartbeast</I> would have made for a more fitting and better sounding title. She has the ability to transport her reader to a dark, almost hopeless terrain and detail what life is like and what human beings are made out of in such harsh landscapes.
    La felicidad es interior,
    no exterior; por lo tanto,
    no depende de lo que tenemos,
    sino de lo que somos.

    - Pablo Neruda

    I have read her books in polish only. I founf very interesting her ideas about the language. Without any doubt she is very pesymistic but at thew same time has the ability of emphasizing the dark side of us.
