The narrative universe of the author is enriched by this collection of stories in which he embarks on new explorations into the human condition. Nostalgia, loss of adolescence, the adventures and the misfortunes of a Peruvian living in a no man’s land between two worlds are some of the themes present in this work, which Bryce tackles in magisterial fashion. This time some of the characters have experience and maturity enough to try and settle old scores in their own pasts. Bryce reminds us, in the style of Camus, that literature is an effective way to metaphysically rebel against the absurdity of life / El universo narrativo del autor se enriquece con esta colección de cuentos en la que emprende nuevas exploraciones en la condición humana. La nostalgia, la adolescencia perdida o las aventuras y desventuras amorosas de un peruano que vive a caballo entre dos mundos, son algunos de los temas presentes en su obra narrativa que, de forma magistral, Bryce aborda también en este volumen. Esta vez, sin embargo, los personajes de algunas de las historias tienen la experiencia y la madurez para ensayar un ajuste de cuentas con su propio pasado. Todos los relatos apelan a la memoria de una forma u otra. La evocación exacta se vuelve por momentos ensueño. Lo corriente se trueca en realidad extraordinaria. Lo nimio casi es epifanía.
