Fisuras en el aire
Chance, love, disease, desire, madness, travel, family, relationships, fear, time, evil, depression, joy. These are only a few of the themes that Araceli Esteves tackles in Cracks in the Air, using the power of brevity which allows her to, in every case, convey the essential to the reader. Pills of truth. Lozenges of humour. Plasters, analgesics, injections. Nothing escapes the author's examination: she has created a minute cosmogony that allows us to view the world with a magnifying glass which, at times, distorts to the point of offering a new vision of the familiar. This collection of one hundred microstories will bring laughter, smiles, reflection and surprise, as well as offering a new way to see and understand the world; not only what surrounds us, but also what lives within us.
