Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Luisa Valenzuela is the heiress of Latin American fiction. She wears an opulent, baroque crown, but her feet are naked (Carlos Fuentes)

Explores the terrain where love and violence, erotic pleasure and death, exist perilously close to each other...Valenzuela plays with words, turns them inside out, weaves them into sensuous webs? The Village Voice 'Valenzuela's books reflect our present, but they also contain much of our future: there is true light, true love, true freedom in every one of her pages (Julio Cort?zar)

Reseña del editor:

A collection of stories that brilliantly capture the absurdity of life. Valenzuela?s view of life captures our imagination because we know how far it is from reality - cops in Buenos Aires are not afraid of dogs, latin lovers in caf?s do make moves in the game of courtship, and the hotels in Venice overlook canals. In the tradition of Calvino and Borges, the stories of Symmetries are also subtle parables on the art of fiction - they engage both our heads and our hearts.
