Product Description:
Paz Soldán returns to the short story genre, which he became known for. Love in these stories is an obsession, an elusive ideal, which once obtained, falls apart due to weaknesses and betrayals. In one story we see Ramiro naked in a motel room recalling the moments he spent there with his ex-lover; in another one, we see a man spy on his daughter while she makes love with many men who start looking more and more like him. From the very short stories to the classic, this book is a perfect manual for understanding love.
Description in Spanish: El amor aparece en estos relatos como una obsesión constante, un ideal escurridizo que, una vez poseido, se resquebraja gracias a nuestras "debilidades y olvidos y traiciones". Así, en Dochera (ganador del Premio Juan Rulfo, 1997), un creador de crucigramas se enamorará de una mujer y decidirá homenajearla reinventando lingüisticamente el universo. En El dolor de tu ausencia veremos a Ramiro rememorando desnudo en una habitación de motel los instantes vividos allí con su ex amante. Y en Ritual del atardecer un hombre espiará a su hija mientras ésta hace el amor con tipos que se pareceb cad vez más a él. Del relato brevísimo al cuento clásico, Amores imperfectos es un manual perfecto para comprender el amor. |
