Description
" Las historias aquí contenidas, si bien evocan formas y temas que se antojan familiares (un ensayo etnográfico, un cuento policiaco, un relato de ciencia ficción, un poema erótico), desafían las convenciones impuestas a cada una de ellas. A la manera de un micelio, conforman juntas una red de significados que se extienden y filtran entre sí.

"El cambio de siglo trajo consigo nuevas posibilidades de acercamiento a la escritura. Desde el traslado de la frontera entre plagio y creación, y la reapropiación y reescritura de textos ya existentes, hasta el amplio abanico de posibilidades desatado por el estallido de las tecnologías comunicativas, la escritura ha dejado de ser el espacio de introspección autoral privilegiado por el romanticismo para convertirse en una experiencia de la comunalidad...

Description
"On a dark and stormy night, two mysterious women invade an unnamed narrator's house, where they proceed to ruthlessly question their host's gender and identity. The increasingly frantic protagonist fails to defend his supposed masculinity and eventually finds himself in a sanatorium. A Gothic tale of destabilized male-female binaries and subverted literary tropes, this is the book's first English publication."--
