Reviews
“…here you can find some fantastical tales, adventures, polemics and surrealism, all mixed together… These stories contain a great amount of human understanding that is portrayed in such a natural way that, at first, you may think that serious issues are being depicted lightly. However, you will come to realise, especially with repeated reading, that the seriousness of the matters discussed cuts much deeper.”
