Claudia Piñeiro

Narrativa Hispánica

"This is Claudia Piñeiro's powerful new book of short stories. A set of stories that, like short every-day scenes, deal with situations that we can all relate to. Some are quirks and oddities that go unnoticed, small obsessions that make their way into daily routines; others can lead to crimes, but are usually resting latent within people's souls. A selfish man performs an act of generosity, a dead person speaks through his belongings, a recluse has a night of love in the most absurd way, a couple creates their own hell, a famous writer hides behind his success, and so, just like them, all the protagonists in these stories are faced with real, and some not-so-real, ghosts. In these detailed and courageous stories, blood flows, sometimes in spurts and other times like a thin red piece of thread, to remind us that nobody is safe from violence and that behind our normal-people masks, we are all "a little strange.""--Publisher's description
