This book of thematically linked short stories engages the reader in a game in which the narrator Máximo C., a failed writer, presents the reader with a series of stories that somehow casts light on his life. Through the narrator’s voice, both lyrical and sharp, Máximo’s past unfolds until the picture of his ever-changing life reveals itself like the final image in a jigsaw puzzle.
«In this work Martín Casariego has placed all of his knowledge at the service of a long literary tradition. And he has done so with just the tight amount of writing, the kind that crosses the sense of pain and beauty with enviable clarity» J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País
