Unified by an acidic humor, the stories in this collection function as a mirror of a reality that, at first glance, may seem deformed. An overweight man whose wife puts him on a diet of cocaine so that he loses weight, a teenager with Down syndrome who becomes a star keyboardist in a failed punk band, and a black pig with the airs of a diva who dictates wonderful romance novels to its perturbed owner are some of the characters that inhabit Carlos Velazquez's deranged world. With language that breaks all molds and falls more in line with oral tradition, this book of short stories demonstrates his ability to capture the upheaval of order in everyday life. "Unificados por un humor acido, los cuentos en esta coleccion funcionan como un reflejo de una realidad que, a primera vista, parece deforme. Un gordo cuya mujer lo pone a dieta de cocaina para que baje de peso, un adolescente con sindrome de Down que se convierte en el teclista estrella de una fallida banda de punk y una marrana negra con aires de diva que le dicta a su atribulado dueno geniales novelas de literatura rosa son algunos de los personajes que habitan el mundo desquiciado de Carlos Velazquez. Con un lenguaje que demuele todos los moldes y se alinea mas con la tradicion oral, este libro de cuentos cortos demuestra la capacidad de Velazquez para capturar el trastorno de la orden de la vida diaria."
