Catalina y Catalina
Author: Ramírez, Sergio.
Year: 2001.
Editorial: Alfaguara.
In this collection of stories there are baseball apparitions, a human chase, unfaithful men and women, a urinary enigma, and an operatic visit to the Mayan myths…; there are characters whose feelings oscillate between resignation and struggle, love and hate; there is, above all, search: affection, of identity, of a destiny.
“Catalina y Catalina” offers an affectionate look at existence complex variety and places the reader in small personal worlds, some kind and others extremely cruel.
Sergio Ramírez is a masterful narrator, which has made him one of the best contemporary story-tellers.
