Publisher's Synopsis
One by one, each short story leaves a deep impression in the reader’s memory and sensibility. In "Silla", an insect eats away Salazar’s chair until he falls from his dictatorship. "Embargo" tells the tale of a man worried for his automobile, when all gasoline is disappearing and death hovers over both. In "Reflujo", one cemetery is absorbing all the other ones. In "Cosas", the author imagines a city under a dictatorship. A fantastic being, half man and half horse, has been hiding for centuries in the shadow of "Centauro". Plus, "Desquite" is a parable in which a boy dives into a river knowing that on the other side awaits a naked girl.
