The protagonists in these short stories--young at the outset--become acquainted with life and its disappointments through the adventures and experiences narrated in the book's pages. They aspire to become doctors and lawyers, but also rock musicians, and they listen to songs that become the soundtracks first to love and then to their heartbreak. These beautiful and melancholy interconnected stories are about all the subtle disillusionments--and surprises--that accompany the end of youth and the awareness of that end. Additionally, these tales discuss memory, how people live with the past, and how it contaminates thoughts and feelings with the ghosts and the places left behind that can never again be revisited. Los protagonistas de estos relatos--j?venes al comienzo--van conociendo la vida y sus derrotas a trav?s de las aventuras y experiencias relatadas a lo largo del libro. Aspiran a ser m?dicos y abogados, pero tambi?n m?sicos de rock, y escuchan canciones que son banda sonora primero del amor y luego del desamor. Estas hermosas y melanc?licas historias interrelacionadas tratan sobre todas las desilusiones sutiles--y las sorpresas--que acompa?an el dejar de ser joven y el ser consciente al fin de que se est? dejando de serlo. Adem?s, estos cuentos tratan de la memoria, de la forma en que se vive con el pasado y de c?mo ?ste contamina los pensamientos y las emociones con fantasmas y con lugares que se han dejado atr?s y a los que nunca m?s se pueden regresar.
