Biografia del foc

Through the pages of this book parade heroes of anxiety and slaves of love, absent mothers, couples that start or crash against uncertainty and marriages on the verge of collapsing. Unsure of where they are going or how to get to their destination, terrified but elated by the possibilities that open up before them, Gurt's characters are sometimes lucky enough to discover beautiful landscapes after destruction. With a tone that oscillates between irony and intimate confession, Gurt builds a brief tableau of human relationships that includes everything from the most brilliant infatuation to the most bitter resentment. After Sola, her successful first novel, the author returns to bookstores with Biography of Fire, fourteen stories about the impermanence that haunts us, and she once again displays the overwhelming force of her always surprising literary universe.
