«La creaci n literaria riveragarziana, la m s fuerte, la m s capaz de derribar barreras y limitaciones. -Elena Poniatowska En estos cuentos habitan un hombre que cree haberse enamorado de una sirena del Nevado de Toluca; una chica en Nueva York que traduce cartas sobre un amor secreto para una cosmet loga; un hombre que intenta hallar un lugar recurrente en sus sue os; y un adolescente enamoradizo que vive entre la casa de sus amantes y la cancha de futbol de su barrio. Todos ellos comparten un mismo conflicto: el encuentro con el otro, en particular, con la figura femenina, que irremediablemente los conduce a una constante sensaci n de soledad y vac o. Es en ese impasse del encuentro furtivo donde la pluma de Cristina Rivera Garza irrumpe para narrarnos aquello donde el tiempo y el espacio dejan de importar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION"Rivera Garza's literary creation, the most powerful, the most capable of breaking down barriers and limitations." -Elena Poniatowska In these stories live: a man who believes he has fallen in love with a mermaid from Nevado de Toluca; a girl in New York who translates letters about a secret love for a cosmetologist; a man who tries to find a recurring place in his dreams; and a teenager who bounces from his many girlfriends' homes and his neighborhood soccer field. They all grapple with a common conflict: encounters with others, especially with the female figure, which invariably leaves them with a persistent sense of loneliness and emptiness. In these brief encounters, Cristina Rivera Garza's pen emerges to narrate all where conventional notions of time and space become irrelevant.
