Bøger af Francisco Hinojosa

Las relaciones sociales, el humor y la resolución de problemas son algunos aspectos que se pueden abordar con la lectura de este libroQuique Botana recibe en su cumpleaños una serie de regalos que desatan anécdotas humorísticas. Aparece un helicóptero que causa líos en el supermercado, la cuchara mágica que aparentemente convertirá a Quique en un alumno estupendo, el suéter amarillo, horrendo y duro de tirar, y claro: un repugnante pajarraco, la pesadilla de un padre enemigo de las mascotas.

Unlike many Latin American writers whose work has been published in the United States, Francisco Hinojosa does not rely on magical realism, exotic recipes or cultural nostalgia. Rather, his stories convey a mercilessly sardonic view of family and society, and his ingenious array of anti-heroes embodies a conspicuous disdain for convention. Here, in eight masterly stories that are as cruel and pitiless as they are hilarious, he explores the complexities of love and human relationships. These fiercely funny picaresque adventures are peopled with characters who inspire feelings of both solidarity and derision, but let the reader beware: just when you find yourself laughing out loud, you might recognize your reflection in the funhouse mirror.
