Translated by Diana Ferraro, Emilia Pardo Bazán’s haunting short story, AIR, explores the fragile boundary between love and madness, reality and delusion. A young woman, Cecilia Bohorques, clings to a single phrase spoken by her lover—"You are nothing. You are colder than air."—until it consumes her entirely. In her mind, she becomes air itself, untouchable, untethered, lost to the world.
