In his subtle but efficient style, Argüello crafts unsettling, sometimes terrifying tales that test our notion of reality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Each of the seven pieces captivates the reader with the rhythm of its prose and compelling characters and storylines. These include the dilemma of a man who thinks he is writing a story but is in fact a character in someone else's, trapping him in a web of fiction. We are kept in suspense by the incredible story of a worker hired by an astronomy professor to build an underground house, because something horrible is about to happen to Earth. We hear the voice of a person trapped inside an electrical socket, who describes the odyssey that led him there. A young man traveling around Europe meets a nineteenth-century author who made a pact with the Devil, allowing him to travel forward in time to see if his works have made an impression on literature. In short, this book is a small treasure about the nature and texture of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-16609425\"\u003eJavier Arguello\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Literatura Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788439744429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8439744420\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-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\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-FIC093000\"\u003eWorld Literature | Chile\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJavier Argüello\u003c\/b\u003e (1972) es escritor argentino, nacido en Chile y radicado en Barcelona.
