Habitaciones privadas

If a stranger were to land in one of our great cities and want to know how urbanites live and feel, this book would give them a subtle and ironic insight into the desires, conflicts, and illusions of human beings today. All the stories share that urban setting and its development in closed spaces: an after hours, a hotel room, a television set or an office. The small daily dramas and the search for friendship, love or sex show the most conflictive aspects of late capitalism. Enjoy, suffer, enjoy and rejoice with Cristina Peri Rossi and her private rooms, our world, with its illusions and her frustrations.
