La recta intención
(Book)

Nothing is simple for the men and women in Andrés Barba's stories. As they go about their lives, they are each tested by a single, destructive obsession. A runner puts his marriage at risk while training for a marathon; a teenager can no longer stand the sight of meat following her parents' divorce; a man suddenly fixates on the age difference between him and his younger male lover. In four tightly wound novellas, Andrés Barba establishes himself as a master of the form.

Una adolescente y casi mefistofélica anoréxica, un corredor de maratón obsesionado con su carrera, una mujer que contempla la decrepitud de su madre y un viejo amante homosexual son los protagonistas de las cuatro nouvelles que componen este libro, cuatro historias unidas por la incomunicación, el miedo a relacionarse con los otros y a ser rechazados por la persona amada. Cuatro textos que confirman plenamente las expectativas creadas por el autor con su anterior libro.
