Riassunto

This collection of imaginative and innovative short stories by Chilean author Jaime Collyer (b. Santiago, 1955) takes readers into a world unlimited by time and space. Cannibals and military dictators, Sigmund Freud and the world chess champion are some of the varied and surprising characters his narration brings to life. A gifted and impeccable writer, Collyer is well aware of the sociopolitical implications of his unfettered and humorous parodies of Europe and South America.
