Nothing as alienating as war. An idea of alienation that is perfectly captured in the dreamlike cover of this book, which in turn provides a sinister perspective. Serve as a perfect advance because that character between protected and hidden, bearer of flowers that could well lead to a ...
The difference between story and tale is given by a subtle difference in their intention. The story can be more or less a flat story, the story, however, whether in its infantile or mature version, always seeks to disguise reality, offer morals, fantasize about what it is not. ...
It is curious, but we can find many books of stories that are presented to us with rimbonbantes titles, elongated, intentionally stretched, as if wanting to compensate for their shorter subject matter. I can think of that Oscar Sipán "I would like to have the voice of Leonard Cohen to ask you to leave" or "I would like someone ...
At some point I stopped thinking that Quentin Tarantino was a director of the gore subgenre, that someone powerful in the film industry had liked him. And I don't know why I stopped thinking about it. At the end of the day it is about blood and violence if not gratuitous yes to ...
Various voices offer us black stories, police, small scripts taken from real settings, the opposite approach to the usual ... Because reality does not exceed fiction, it simply supplants it.

What we would like to be and what we are. What we think and what they think of us. What oppresses us and our desire for freedom ... Emiliano ...
The celestial dome, that towards which we sometimes look, day or night, when we travel by plane or when we look for the air that we lack underwater. The sky is the horizon of fantasy and is full of dreams, full of desires that lead shining shooting stars ...
