«A collection of stories in the best style of the genre. Perfectly crafted.» P. M. Domene, Ideal.
«When, out of eleven stories, you find four or five that are very good and one that is unforgettable, one starts harboring great expectations » J. E. Ayala-Dip, El País
Synopsis
(The Night of Two Hundred Stars) Two winged dragons who have lost their fire breath find themselves in a cold and deserted village. A young man has the opportunity to find out all of his girlfriend´s secrets. An old clerk receives an invitation to participate in a wild costume party. A small time drug dealer and his girlfriend must keep watch over a secret smuggling operation. A disconcerting man meets his mother when he´s 30 and she 25. These are some of the suggestive situations found in The Night of Two Hundred Stars, a book with a bunch of endearing stories, populated with characters of all ages and social conditions that face destiny alone and naked, with their everyday heroism, surrounded by the same questions without answers.
With an ironic and raw gesture, though melancholic and lyrical as well, Nicolás Casariego shows he´s a master in story-telling.
