Beskrivelse

"These fourteen stories engage and challenge the reader, paragraph by paragraph, by stitching together brief accounts, which, by their very brevity, tease apart a universe of narrative possibilities, riveting the reader until the final period is in place.An innovative personal technique unfolds, phrase to phrase, underlying both the descriptions and the anecdotes to create, not a single atmosphere, but several in each story. The narrative style of these tales subverts the theme itself, surprising the reader with the versatility it employs to play with his consciousness.The stories throughout the book move back and forth from New York to other more distant settings, bearing with them events and characters to be found in any Latin American environment. That umbilical cord¿both spatial and temporal¿is perceived from beginning to end, but subtly, as if through a complicit continuity that never betrays itself at any given moment, precisely because the narrator wills it so, and instead employs his own narrative skill, and only the most ephemeral possible pretext, to construct each story." ¿Walter Ventosilla (Tr. Rhina P. Espaillat)
