Translation of: Homesick for another world.
Description
Hay algo inquietante en las historias de este libro, algo casi peligroso, a la vez que encantador. Los personajes son todos inestables sobre sus pies de una forma u otra; todos anhelan la conexión y la mejora, aunque cada uno de manera muy diferente, pero a menudo se dejan engañar por sus propios impulsos básicos e inseguridades existenciales. En este libro, lo grotesco y lo escandaloso se abordan con ternura y compasión. La carne es débil; la madera está torcida; las personas son crueles entre sí, estúpidas e hirientes, pero la belleza proviene de fuentes extrañas.
Description
There's something unsettling about the stories in this book, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful. The characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities. In this book, the grotesque and the outrageous are approached with tenderness and compassion. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful - but beauty comes from strange sources.
