Malba Foundation

Make yourself a friend

Description

The misadventures of a regular McDonald's customer who faints amidst hamburgers and fries overflowing with mayonnaise; a math teacher hopelessly in love with his precocious nine-year-old student; a bodybuilder who has lost his muscles after a heartbreak; a visit distorted by the madness of an eccentric ex-lover; a revenge plot between two friends set against the cumbia-infused backdrop of a hair salon; and a couple's argument anchored in a military uprising—these are some of the worlds that populate the unsettling and deviant fiction of *The Book of Strange Affections*, which is far from being a collection of sentimental stories. Rather, it is a crusade to find love stripped of all romanticism, affection tinged with deviance and abnormality, the dysfunctional, delirious, and unusual dynamic that sometimes arises between people.
Hilarious, biting and at times almost surreal, this anthology of short stories by Carlos Gamerro, originally published in 2005, comes back to life thanks to Interzona and the 2° Round collection.
