Description
"This is Claudia Piñeiro's powerful new book of short stories. A set of stories that, like short every-day scenes, deal with situations that we can all relate to. Some are quirks and oddities that go unnoticed, small obsessions that make their way into daily routines; others can lead to crimes, but are usually resting latent within people's souls. A selfish man performs an act of generosity, a dead person speaks through his belongings, a recluse...

"Buenos Aires: city of contrasts, contradictions; always on the edge of chaos; in love with its own disorder despite the crude, transitory violence, the lack of law and order, the ubiquitously hurled insult, the thunderous boom of traffic, and honking, hurled curses. Its inhabitants love/hate the city. In the language of the port-dwellers, irony is currency. The multimillionaires of Puerto Madero deal in this irony with as fluently as the workers...
