The Decorator Calls Twice: A Psychological Satire on Absurd Reality What happens when your reality doesn't just shatter-it gets a new landlord?
In The Decorator Calls Twice, what begins as a surreal screwball comedy soon reveals itself as a psychological labyrinth from which it is impossible to escape unscathed (or even with the same name).
In The Decorator Calls Twice, what begins as a surreal screwball comedy soon reveals itself as a psychological labyrinth from which it is impossible to escape unscathed (or even with the same name).
For our protagonist-let's call him Tadeo, Ernesto, Juan, or Erick, depending on the day-the impossible is routine. He lives in a world where logic has taken a permanent vacation. Here, psychologists treat patients while hanging from imaginary cliffs, bedrooms contain vast Siberian steppes, and girlfriends fail to recognize him after a night of passion because, literally, he has become a different person.
Under the invisible hand of a mysterious decorator capable of reordering the architecture of life itself, this novel takes you from incredulous laughter to existential vertigo.
