Reviews

[Manel Haro]

Historias que dan una mirada de extrañeza a situaciones corrientes, como si el autor quisiera que nos fijáramos en que el ser humano, en cualquier momento, puede tener un comportamiento irracional o inexplicable. Los finales de algunos de estos relatos son algo flojos, pero no hay historia que no te atrape. Me ha gustado,
