Dos novelitas poco edificantes / Two Slightly Instructive Novels

About the Book

"Dos 'libros espejo' que parodian la literatura sentimental y pornográfica".- El País

Lo que comenzó como un intercambio lúdico de correspondencia entre Eloy Urroz y Jorge Volpi germinó en este extraordinario volumen que incluye Herir tu fiera carne y Sanar tu piel amarga, dos relatos anti-solemnes, más bien humorísticos, que satirizan el género romántico a la vez que tienden una trampa para exponer sus mecanismos. Dos breves obras maestras que develan las fantasías sentimentales y reavivan los inconvenientes de los triángulos amorosos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Two brief masterpieces that unveil emotional fantasies and highlight the downsides and disadvantages of love triangles.
