Description

This beautiful and original collection of stories plays opportunely with realism and fiction to create a world divided into six tales that form an interlocked unity—forming a passionate novel that gives us a tour de force of alienation and erotic obsession by taking us deep into a world where sex is casual, but real love elusive.

The new Reinaldo Arenas.—El País
