The irreversible disgrace!

This work is an impressive and crude testimonial that would seem to have been extracted from a Police chronicle. An awful and traumatic fact in the early years of an anonymous, unknown and humble child will determine an anomalous, bitter and comprehensible but not justifiable sickness behavior. Hate and rage; deception and spiritual penury join to that hopeless environment, where the violence is the main ingredient to survive will spark all your interest once you start to read it.

Storie's with special ingredients that make them unique.

The Cubs is a story about the life of a boy who suffers an accidental castration. The emotions of the boy can be felt and you see his change of attitude towards life. It has twists and turns that make The Cubs unpredictable and interesting. The story revolves around the boy and his group of friends from school. The other stories range from different topics but most of them are short but detailed at the same time. Most of them will leave you satisfied and looking for more book by Vargas Llosa. reviewed by Mauricio de la Garza
