Summary
"Los mejores cuentos del autor del inolvidable El cartero de Neruda reunidos en un volumen.
Skármeta es, además de novelista admirado por millones de lectores en todo el mundo, un maestro reconocido de la ficción breve.
Este libro recoge, por primera vez en un volumen, los mejores cuentos escritos por el autor chileno y publicados hasta ahora en libros independientes: El entusiasmo, Desnudo en el tejado, Tiro libre, Novios y solitarios y Libertad de movimiento. Sus relatos han sido siempre celebrados por la crítica y los lectores y considerados muestras de la renovación de la prosa latinoamericana. El amor, el deseo, la libertad, son temas fundamentales en su narrativa que destaca por su intensidad, la prosa versátil y bella, la sensibilidad y la sutil ironía que en ocasiones deriva hacia el humor negro.
Con prólogo del escritor mexicano Juan Villoro.
