This dystopia about an almost inhuman world, which ceaselessly questions our current way of life and sparks all kinds of questions about contemporaneity, has a history. The author has been writing short stories and brief tales for many years, which Alfaguara reissues today in this volume. Nineteen stories that take us to the heart of our fears, of the most delirious and dark fantasies, and also of the blackest humor. Texts that question love, friendship, family relationships, and unconfessable desires. An absorbing read that confirms a unique style and depth in the panorama of literature in Spanish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eA collection of nineteen dark, wildly imaginative short stories from the author of the award-winning TikTok sensation \u003ci\u003eTender Is the Flesh\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom celebrated author Agustina Bazterrica, this collection of nineteen brutal, darkly funny short stories takes into our deepest fears and through our most disturbing fantasies. Through stories about violence, alienation, and dystopia, Bazterrica's vision of the human experience emerges in complex, unexpected ways--often unsettling, sometimes thrilling, and always profound. In \"Roberto,\" a girl claims to have a rabbit between her legs. A woman's neighbor jumps to his death in \"A Light, Swift, and Monstrous Sound,\" and in \"Candy Pink,\" a woman fails to contend with a difficult breakup in five easy steps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in Bazterrica's signature clever, vivid style, these stories question love, friendship, family relationships, and unspeakable desires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16606798\"\u003eAgustina Bazterrica\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alfaguara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 5.70w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798890984197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC029000\"\u003eShort Stories (single author)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC085000\"\u003eWorld Literature | Argentina\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgustina Bazterrica nació en Buenos Aires en 1974.
