After a five-year hiatus from the short story, a genre that has consecrated him, Carlos Vel zquez returns with his sixth collection of short stories. Here, as in his previous books, Vel zquez not only manages to maintain the place he has earned as one of the most notable writers in the country but also reaffirms his incorruptible originality. As an author, he reinvents himself with this series of crackling stories. The border, polyamory, fratricidal desire, suicide and constant laughter bubble through these pages with radioactive voracity. At the same time, this set of plots shows his evolution as a narrator and his intact ability to place himself among the best of literature, the one that is destined to endure. A fitness girl who when she gets drunk goes out to look for sex with fat people, a Mennonite who decides to stop being what her religion demands of her and begins the ancestral practice of meditation, a man who becomes a clown after his brother snatches his spouse from him are some of the creatures that inhabit the stories of The Zen Mennonite. A cocktail of extravagant situations with which the author will dazzle us, with unforgettable characters..,
