Summary:
"En la mirada de Ana Fuente sobre lo cotidiano hay algo demoledor que va avanzando con sutileza en su escritura. Se trata, quizá, de su elección por narrar pequeños momentos en familia que fragmentan y modifican el curso de esas vidas. ¿Cómo se nombra el hastío, la enfermedad, la muerte? En estos doce cuentos, la autora ensaya maneras de acercarse al duelo ante la pérdida de los sueños, de las esperanzas, de lo que se ama. De entre los restos hay esquirlas iluminadas por una prosa llena de fuerza narrativa para contarnos historias que hablan no solo de lo que se fractura, sino de aquello que secretamente nos mueve cada día pese a todo."-- Back cover.
"In Ana Fuente's view of everyday life there is something devastating that subtly advances in her writing. It is, perhaps, her choice to narrate small family moments that fragment and modify the course of those lives. How do you name boredom, illness, death? In these twelve stories, the author rehearses ways of approaching grief in the face of the loss of dreams, of hopes, of what she loves. Among the remains there are splinters illuminated by a prose full of narrative force to tell us stories that speak not only of what is fractured, but of what secretly moves us every day despite everything." -- cataloger's translation
