In this brilliant new collection of stories, Alberto Barrera Tyszka casts an eye on the violence that afflicts Latin America, and in particular its intimate effects on the individuals who suffer and inflict it. Unexplained blood stains appear in a young couple's apartment; a disembodied hand is found in a rubbish dump; political prisoners take horrific measures to make their point: these stories view a dysfunctional society through a blood-red filter. Mixing the surreal with the quotidian, the banal with the unspeakable, Tyszka has created a fragmentary panorama of man's misdeeds against his own kind. These windingly elliptical stories are ceaselessly surprising, and will bury themselves into your subconscious long after the final page is turned.
