They were written in 1977 but were first published in the early 1980s in The New Yorker. Both "The Shawl" and "Rosa" won...

first prize in the O. Henry Prize Stories and were chosen for Best American Short Stories.

And in both stories there is a shawl-a shawl that can sustain a starving child or inadvertently destroy her, or even magically conjure her back to life.
