Summary
Lo que comenzó como un intercambio lúdico de correspondencia entre Eloy Urroz y Jorge Volpi germinó en este extraordinario volumen que incluye Herir tu fiera carne y Sanar tu piel amarga, dos relatos anti-solemnes, más bien humorísticos, que satirizan el género romántico a la vez que tienden una trampa para exponer sus mecanismos. Dos breves obras maestras que develan las fantasías sentimentales y reavivan los inconvenientes de los triángulos amorosos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
What began as a playful mail exchange between Eloy Urroz and Jorge Volpi developed into this extraordinary work that includes Herir tu fiera carne / To Hurt Your Fierce Flesh and Sanar tu piel amarga / To Heal Your Bitter Skin, two lighthearted, mischievous, and rather humorous stories that satirize the romance genre while at the same time setting a trap to expose its mechanisms.
Two brief masterpieces that unveil emotional fantasies and highlight the downsides and disadvantages of love triangles.
