About the Book

La Niña Blanca nunca abandona a sus elegidos

Narcotraficantes, políticos, delincuentes, empresarios y policías rinden culto a la Santa Muerte, la imagen de la muerte violenta, para que los proteja de sus enemigos y les otorgue poder, impunidad y dinero.

Durante una fiesta fantástica de 24 horas seguidas donde todo está permitido, hay quienes están dispuestos incluso a ofrecer víctimas para que sus deseos se cumplan. En el perro de los niños de la calle, el can pick es narrador y partícipe de la vida airada de estos nuevos olvidados. En la calle de las vidrieras, un anciano holandés se pasea por el barrio de las mujeres en vitrina de Ámsterdam, deseando contratar los servicios de una rubia despampanante para gozar la última relación carnal de su vida.

Los relatos que integran este volumen -que también incluye inventando el pasado, una condición excepcional y en el país de los diablos- harán que el lector transite por mundos densos, bizarros e inquietantes por su extremo parecido con el mundo que llamamos real, donde a veces el perro que llevamos dentro chilla en un cuarto oscuro y el viejo que dormita en un asilo se niega a que el deseo muera.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The White Girl never abandons her chosen ones.


Drug traffickers, politicians, criminals, businessmen, and policemen worship Holy Death, the image of violent death, to be protected from their enemies and be granted power, impunity, and money. During a fantastical 24-hour party where all is allowed, there are those who are even willing to offer victims in order for their wishes to be granted. In "The Street-Kids' Dog," Pick the dog is both narrator and participant in the angry life of these new forgotten ones. In "The Street of Windows," an old Dutch man walks through the neighborhood of the women on display in Amsterdam, hoping to hire the services of a stunning blonde to enjoy the last carnal relationship of his life. The tales that make up this work--which also include "Inventing the Past," "An Exceptional Condition," and "In the Country of Devils"--will take the reader through worlds that are dense, bizarre, and troubling because of their extreme similarities with the world we call real, where sometimes the dog within us howls in a dark room and the old man dozing in a nursing home refuses to let desire die.
