The four short stories collected in here delve into the impossibility of love, the voraciousness of desire and the illusory nature of memory, but also convey a serene confidence in the power of beauty and fabulation. The tension between oblivion and remembrance, love and betrayal, are filled with extraordinary aesthetic and creative vigor. A narrative erotic and intimate, composed of four masterpieces of brief literature, reveals a fundamental truth: that love itself has the ability to give us life and to take it away.
