Long discounted by a literary culture that activelyrejected women's writi ng, Maria Judite de Carvalho's biting and bitterly funny work has since exp loded across the world.Collecting the entirety of her short works written between 1959 and 1967,when the Salazar dictatorship and the rigid edicts of the Catholic church reigned,the stories inSo Many People, Mariana might as well have been written today. These are tough, unflinching account s of women trapped by a culture that values them as workers or wives but no t as people. And if they do escape their circumstances, they are, more ofte n than not,irrevocably punished by the world. So Many People, Marianais an introduction to a major international writer at the height of her power. Translated by the renowned Margaret Jull Costa, Carvalho leads readers into the dark of life under patriarchal capitalism, writing "as precisely and without sentiment as an autopsy" (New York Review of Books).
