ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Twelve tales, twelve little masterpieces by an author at his literary best.

"The author, far from seeking placidity and comfort in his stories, is a master in the art of psychological novel, in capital letters." -Isabel Llauger, Qu'e leer

Men and women just passing through, recently arrived in a new country or a new city. Travelers trapped in a supposedly idyllic cruise that turns into a nightmare. Couples that communicate less the more they speak. First time parents of a whiny baby. A group of women celebrating a birthday in which there is not much to celebrate... An entire cast of characters full of truth, with adrift lives, that star in these twelve tales by an author at the peak of his literary career.

Roncagliolo's incursion into short stories, done with the same skill and imagination he bestows his novels and journalistic chronicles. A perfect volume as summary of the author's work, and as introduction for new readers.
