Desastres Íntimos / Intimate Disasters

"In this modern age, when the means of communication have turned individual and collective history into a spectacle, literature is the privileged place of subjectivity. This book allows us to peer into the fascinating world of characters trapped in their particular deliriums: a club of fetishists who discuss their particular manias, a man in love with a whale woman, a man whose wife has left him for another woman, and a beautiful secretary who is also a mother feeling asphyxiated by her family. Readers, no matter how they see themselves and what their sexual preferences may be, will experience the same sensation."--
