Una brecha en el corazón humano que permite atisbar las pesadillas ocultas.
Al leer Venganza uno queda atrapado en una telaraña hermosa, letal. Words Without Borders
Una mujer que espera a que la atiendan en una pastelerÃa devela, conversando con otra clienta, su tragedia: va a comprar dos tartitas de fresas con nata para celebrar el cumpleaños de su hijo, un niño que, sin embargo, murió años atrás. Con este relato arranca este volumen compuesto por once cuentos entrelazados: en cada uno de ellos, un detalle a veces Ãnfimo evoca el relato anterior, anuncia el siguiente o cambia completamente la perspectiva, hasta formar una espiral vertiginosa. Los protagonistas no tienen, aparentemente, nada en común: dos alumnos de instituto, una novelista y su extraña casera, un joven que viaja al entierro de su madre adoptiva, dos trabajadoras de hospital, una cantante que encarga un bolso, una joven que trata de descubrir la infidelidad de su marido o una insistente mujer empeñada en seguir a un periodista que redacta un reportaje sobre un hotel de lujo. Sin embargo, poco a poco el lector vuelve a encontrárselos, para revelar un aspecto oculto del ser humano.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A breach in the human heart that lets us glimpse hidden nightmares.
Reading Vengeance traps you in a beautiful, lethal web. Words Without Borders
A woman waiting to be served in a pastry shop reveals, while talking to another customer, her tragedy: she is buying two strawberry cream tarts to celebrate her son's birthday, a child who, however, died years ago. This story opens a volume made up of eleven interlinked short stories: in each one, a sometimes tiny detail evokes the previous tale, foreshadows the next, or completely changes perspective, forming a dizzying spiral. The protagonists apparently share nothing in common: two high-school students, a novelist and her strange landlady, a young man traveling to his adoptive mother's funeral, two hospital workers, a singer ordering a handbag, a young woman trying to uncover her husband's infidelity, and an insistent woman determined to follow a journalist writing a piece about a luxury hotel. Yet gradually the reader meets them again, revealing a hidden aspect of the human being.
