This collection of short stories is provocative, ironic, macabre... and surprising. Each story provides a wonderful relaxation for the intelligent mind and should be treated as an invitation to an intellectual game. The author plays with time, technique and character, so that the writer´s style is revealed only after reading the whole. He possesses a characteristic ability to combine the improbable and macabre with an eternal worldliness (and the other way round) and to extract extraordinary beauty from the prosaic. It will stay with you long after reading the last page.
