Primer amor y otros romances

An anthology of the most intimate and crude stories of Carlos Giménez's universe. An unrepentant chronicler of the darkest years of our 20th century and author of overflowing fantasy, Carlos Giménez demonstrates in this volume that he is also (and perhaps above all) a narrator with exceptional sensitivity. Here some of his most intimate stories are collected, in which he speaks, as Rafael Martín points out in the prologue, "of love or heartbreak, of shame, loneliness or ridicule." From the encounter, reunion and misunderstanding of First Love to the furtive romanticism of Mint Flavor, the everyday and the deep come together in pieces of life that, in their crude insignificance, become universal.
