Stories.
A boy who who falls in love with his teacher tells us how he feels according to what he watches on TV. These are the times of Batman and Guilligan’s Island.
A young man messes with his friend and her mother. A cold current runs through this story.
A story of prostitutes in a bar of the Bronx. How many views are there to tell us what happened?
A guy who likes getting involved in his girlfriend’s jobs: one was a cook, another studied medicine, and another worked as a secretary. He learned something of each one, but… what was Luciana’s job?
A spatial voyage. The cooperation of two countries is needed to achieve an important mission: make a couple of astronauts become the first spacefuckers. For Commander Kimberley Most things don’t happen as planned…
With these and other stories (or science-fiction narrative, or sexual nonsense, as the author calls them), Fernando Iwasaki shows us that he is an excellent narrator. His prose is charged with humor and an clever and fresh use of language.
I found this book as a compulsory reading for one of Espido Freire’s workshops on literary creation. She considers Iwasaki as one of the best story writers in Spanish language of our time. I’d like to read his Trousseau Funeral now.
