Cuando llegue ayer no puede ser mañana

The voice of Josefina de la Torre permeates her writings with childhood memories, revives the familiar ghosts in the houses of the early years, fills the sea of childhood with life and fish. It also gives plasticity to the dreamlike, to the fleeting, and shines in short stories, full of suspense, portraits of human psychology with a veracity that amazes us: the disappointments of love, lost youth, fear of loneliness, the joys of shared moments. Although she is above all known as one of the most outstanding poets of the Silver Age, Josefina de la Torre was a versatile and unclassifiable creator within a single genre. Proof of this is this brief collected prose that we present here, in an edition by Fran Garcera, and which reveals the less popular aspects of her writing, largely unpublished to this day. When yesterday cannot be tomorrow offers us a complex portrait of the concerns and interests of its author, and contributes to enrich and deepen her personality, one of the most unique in 20th century Spanish literature.
