A quasi-biblical plague of red ants that invades the streets and the dreams of the people. A vouyerist ghost who is reunited with his childhood best friend to inquire about daily life and ask: How does it feel to fuck? Brief and disturbing visions of an end of the world closer than we would like to admit. The story of Nicolás, a young physicist who becomes the second Mexican to reach space. Caresses ghosts, trees delirious. And, above all, the meeting of a group of teenagers with a small plane stuck in the middle of Veracruz. The stories of Eduardo de Gortari subtly delve into the terrains of fantasy and science fiction. Closer to Lucius Shepard than to William Gibson, de Gortari avoids technological pyrotechnics and the common place to take us to lands that, by relatives, are as wonderful as they are disturbing. Owner of a vigorous poetic voice and a particular intellectual curiosity, Eduardo de Gortari is one of the young Mexican writers who will have to pay special attention.
