A killer camera. A haunted suit. An impossible love. Music that can't be heard, a terrifying phobia, an extraordinary shoe.
'The Other Side of the Photo' is a collection of tales about love, guilt, obsession and memory from prize-winning storyteller Fernando VillamÃa. Lauded for his perfectly constructed stories and brilliantly polished language, each tale is a journey into the inexplicable. Taut, tense and disturbing, the stories hook the reader, drawing them into the characters' world, where everyday reality shatters to reveal the strange dimensions of a mysterious world that lies ominously beneath the surface.
This excellent translation by Jim McCarthy should bring many more readers to these fabulous stories.
