Synopsis
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.
