«Semen y castigo. DÃganme dónde está el semen y les diré dónde está la culpa . Un hilo tan sutil como contundente recorre los cuentos aquà reunidos: cuerpo y alma. Cuerpos y almas de mujeres y hombres que se encuentran y desencuentran, entre espejismos y malentendidos. En estas páginas, que cuaje una historia «de amor resulta un milagro. Para la escritora, las comillas son innegociables. Catalina Murillo vuelve a mostrarnos su capacidad de analizar la psique humana. En algunos de sus cuentos se dirÃa que despliega a los personajes en la mesa de disección. Como suele en su narrativa, a la vez que cuenta, se pregunta por el oficio de contar. De una historia a otra, nos brinda una amplia paleta de registros, épocas y espacios geográficos. En uno de los relatos, la escritora de hoy dialoga con la protagonista del pasado; en otro, nos revela cómo narró el cuento; en algunos su voz se hace muy presente; en otros, desaparece. Provocarnos, esto es lo que consigue Catalina hasta hacernos pensar: «Cómo es que me ha llevado tantos años llegar hasta... mà . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Semen and punishment. Tell me where the semen is and I'll tell you who's to blame. Body and soul: This dichotomy is the subtle but definitive thread that runs through the stories in this collection. Bodies and souls of men and women who come together and drift apart, driven by illusions and misunderstandings. For the author, a love story with a happy ending is nothing short of a miracle, quotation marks non-negotiable. Once again, Catalina Murillo shows us her skill at analyzing the human psyche, peeling back the layers of her characters. As in all her works, the act of telling her story leads her to speculate on the nature of storytelling. This is a collection that spans a wide range of tones, eras and geographies. One story is a conversation between the author and a character from one of her earlier works; another reveals how she came up with the plot. Sometimes her voice is clearly present while at others, it disappears. Throughout, the goal is to make us think, until we wonder: how did it take me so long to become...me?
