- Summary:
- "David Lorenzo se asoma al universo de Horacio Quiroga de tal forma que aborda la biografía del reputado escritor al tiempo que adapta en viñetas algunos de sus relatos más celebrados. Así, conocemos parte de la atribulada vida del narrador y poeta de origen uruguayo y revisitamos cuentos macabros como El hijo, El almohadón de plumas, Los guantes de goma o La gallina degollada. David Lorenzo, mediante una depurada técnica como acuarelista, consigue insuflar a cada cuento un tono y una personalidad propia que marida la prosa del escritor con su estilo como narrador gráfico" -- Publisher's description.
- "David Lorenzo looks into the universe of Horacio Quiroga in such a way that he addresses the biography of the renowned writer while adapting some of his most celebrated stories into vignettes. Thus, we learn about part of the troubled life of the narrator and poet of Uruguayan origin and revisit macabre stories such as The Son, The Feather Pillow, The Rubber Gloves or The Cutthroat Hen. David Lorenzo, through a refined technique as a watercolorist, manages to instil each story with its own tone and personality that marries the writer's prose with his style as a graphic narrator" -- English translation of publisher's description.
