El libro que nos abrió la puerta al universo literario de Luis Miguel Rivas.
Ocho cuentos publicados por primera vez en 2007 en una editorial universitaria, y que hoy en dÃa constituyen un libro de culto. Gracia, humor negro y blanco y profundo, personajes paradójicos en situaciones poco convencionales, alcohol, monólogos interiores deslumbrantes y mucho ritmo son algunos de los elementos que los lectores van a encontrar en estos relatos.
Durante la lectura tenemos la sensación de estar con el narrador en el mismo sitio de la historia, casi como si fuéramos un personaje más o un testigo mudo que no lee el cuento, sino que lo vive. Como la prosa es tan visual, tan finamente descriptiva, más que lectores nos convertimos en espectadores de los cuentos de Rivas. Héctor Abad Faciolince
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The book that opened the door to Luis Miguel Rivas's literary universe.
Eight stories first published in 2007 by a university press, which today constitute a cult book. Wit, both dark and profound humor, paradoxical characters in unconventional situations, alcohol, dazzling interior monologues, and a lot of rhythm are some of the elements readers will find in these stories.
During the reading, we have the sensation of being with the narrator in the very place of the story, almost as if we were another character or a silent witness who doesn't just read the story but lives it. Because the prose is so visual, so finely descriptive, we become spectators of Rivas's stories more than readers. Héctor Abad Faciolince
