Pellejos

The stories that make up Pellejos are a slap in the face of narrative talent, a hurricane of fresh air. Alba Álvarez bursts onto the scene with stories that take us out of our comfort zone and are often disturbing and stark. Relationships, sex, loneliness, the image of one's own body, self-esteem, lack of love or harassment are some of the pillars on which these stories are built, sometimes wild, in which our fears, our expectations are dissected and our pursuit of happiness. Each of these texts will make the reader squirm and not always be comfortable, but her hypnotic prose and the bare truth of her pages make it almost impossible to stop reading this brilliant and irreverent writer who is here to stay. .
