Description

Una compilación de relatos que descubren la visceralidad y el horror de los días en que personajes de mil tallas tratan de conservar la cordura.

Por estas páginas desfilan: un vengativo coach de recuerdos personales; un burócrata mexicano que vomita sobre la madre Teresa de Calcuta en el aeropuerto Charles de Gaulle de París; un reportero adicto al crack convertido en payaso de rodeo literario; el fantasma de Juan Rulfo; un psicoanalista lacaniano y caníbal; un videoartista cuya obra consiste en filmar pornografía gonzo con mujeres enfermas de sida; Dios revelado como nini; un narcotraficante idéntico a Quentin Tarantino obsesionado con encontrar y asesinar a Quentin Tarantino.

Todos ellos habitan mundos de estados éticos alterados. Sin embargo, a diferencia de lo que podría pensarse, esa alteración consiste en que su ética es más rigurosa que la nuestra; no más justa ni más benévola, pero sí más implacable.

Los diez cuentos que integran este libro son vértigos totales, universos tan excéntricos como perfectamente lógicos. Transitan de la ternura del Ángel Exterminadora la violencia de una carcajada plagada de caries. Con una prosa afilada y contundente -feroz como un lento relámpago-, Julián Herbert nos recuerda que eso que llamamos «la experiencia humana» es sólo una masacre de capas de cebolla, una zona ciega y egoísta que somos incapaces de dilucidar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A compilation of stories that uncover the intensity and the horror of the days when absurd characters try to keep their sanity.

On these pages we find: a revengeful coach of personal memories, a Mexican bureaucrat that vomits on Mother Theresa at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, a reporter addicted to crack turned into a clown at a literary rodeo, the ghost of Juan Rulfo, a Lacanian and cannibalistic psychoanalyst, a video artist whose work consists on filming bizarre pornography with women with AIDS, God personified as a bum, a drug dealer who looks just like Quentin Tarantino and is obsessed with finding and killing Quentin Tarantino.

The ten stories in this book are total vertigo, universes that are as eccentric as they are perfectly logical. With a fine and strong prose, "fiery as slow thunder", Julian Herbert reminds us that that thing we call "human experience" is just a massacre of onion layers, a blind and shellfish zone that we are incapable of making out.
