About the book
These eleven stories from one of Granta's 'Best Young Spanish-Language Novelists' combine gritty surrealism with explosive interior meditations, traversing the fickle, often terrifying terrain between madness and freedom. In the title story, a so-called 'non-inventor' brings snow-white rabbits to an island inhabited exclusively by birds, with horrific results. In 'Myotragus' a privileged man's understanding of the world is violently disrupted by the sight of a creature long thought extinct. Elsewhere in these stories that map dingy hotel rooms, shape-shifting cities, and graveyards, an unsightly 'paw' grows from a writer's earlobe and a grandmother floats silently in the corner of the room.
