| Annotation |
"All the darkness in the word fits in a small room, because, unlike doubts, darkness doesn't leave blank spaces. It doesn't distinguish between crevices and open space--there is nothing too small or too large for its mouth. It's one of those things that has no measure, like God or fear. A woman lives in peace with a monkey until night falls and boundaries become blurred; danger approaches. A group of dogs takes its daily stroll in the hands of their caretaker. As they walk, they converse: about repetitions, memory, death. Thanks to a shared sadness, two musicians achieve perfect harmony, as if the inescapable destiny of a piano and a violin was that one-of-a-kind union. When faced with the possibility of adopting a pet, a woman begins to doubt, feel old, but she remembers all of the dogs that accompanied her throughout her life in a kind of moving catalog. A new beginning might still be possible. Alejandra Kamiya, creator of one of the most powerful aesthetics in contemporary Argentine literature, builds a collection of stories that question the link between human and animal, between the everyday and the oneiric, between what is said and what is suggested. And it is precisely in those points of connection that her style explodes, but not in a pompous way, but rather with the pointed modesty of a drop of water that penetrates an entire surface, especially one made of paper." -- Provided by publisher.

"Una mujer convive pacíficamente con un mono hasta que llega la noche y los límites se difuman, el peligro acecha. Un grupo de perros hace su paseo cotidiano de la mano de su cuidadora. Mientras caminan conversan entre ellos: sobre las repeticiones, sobre la memoria, sobre la muerte. A partir de una misma tristeza compartida, dos músicos logran una armonía perfecta, como si el destino ineludible de un piano y un violín fuese esa única unión. Frente a la posibilidad de adoptar una mascota, una mujer duda, se siente vieja, pero recuerda en una suerte de catálogo entrañable a todos los perros que la acompañaron a lo largo de su vida. Quizás todavía sea posible un nuevo comienzo. Alejandra Kamiya, artífice de una de las estéticas más potentes de la literatura argentina contemporánea, construye una colección de relatos que indagan sobre el vínculo entre lo animal y lo humano, entre lo cotidiano y lo onírico, entre lo dicho y lo sugerido. Y es precisamente en esos intersticios donde su estilo explota, pero no pomposamente, sino con la modestia certera de la gota de agua que va horadando toda superficie, sobre todo las de papel." -- Proporcionada por la editorial. -- Spanish language.
