El nuevo libro de relatos de un maestro de la narrativa breve, Premio Nacional de las Letras Espa olas. Qui n est realmente seguro de no ser imaginario? Un hombre no sabe si es real o parte de un relato; otro accede a un estado desconocido y placentero tras una sedaci n; alguien acaba traspasando la frontera entre realidad y ficci n despu s de convertirse en personaje de un relato escrito por Andr s Choz; dos gemelas viven intercambiando sus identidades hasta las ltimas consecuencias; un escritor se enfrenta solo a la ltima noche en la que un hotel est abierto... Jos Mar a Merino, uno de los grandes maestros del g nero del relato en Espa a, construye en este libro un artefacto literario genial, al modo de las mu ecas rusas, en el que las ficciones encierran ficciones que adem s hablan unas con otras y comparten personajes o situaciones. Combinando el humor, la sorpresa y la inquietud ante lo desconocido, todos ellos giran en torno a temas tan sugerentes como la identidad, el doble, la frontera entre la vigilia y el sue o, las realidades paralelas o la inteligencia artificial. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONLatest short stories collection by a master of short fiction, Spanish Literature National Award.Who can actually be sure they are not imaginary? A man can't figure out if he is real or if he is part of a story; another man goes into an unknown pleasant state after being sedated; someone just trespassed the boundaries between reality and fiction after becoming a character in a tale by Andr s Choz; twin sisters live swapping their identities to the bitter end; a writer is left to face alone a hotel's last night open... Jos Mar a Merino, one of the great masters of storytelling in Spain, builds a brilliant literary artefact in the manner of a Russian doll, where fiction contains fiction, but they also communicate, sharing characters or situations. Combining humor, surprise, and fear of the unknown, they all revolve around topics as evocative as identity, doppelgangers, the boundary between wakefulness and sleep, parallel realities, and artificial intelligence.
