Welcome to Mirror World
Me and My Buddies (and a bottle of rum)
Narrative
“Today you’ve been dead two years”, my heart says. I try remembering for how long was I dead last time. I can’t.” This is how the novella begins, with a conversation between the narrator and his heart about this last life. Then the brain will join in the conversation. Together, they will try to make sense of their memories, and they will ponder whether planning a next life is worth trying. It is written in the form of a metafictional autobiography.
LP de Soledad Ideal
Poetry
This poetry book is written in Spanish, and it explores my concept of “Ideal Loneliness”, present in many of my other works, according to which the soulmate is such a fit that it feels as if our self were still alone, but beautifully amplified beyond its individual limitations.
It’s made of 70 poems, and it contains a few poems in English as well. As in all my books of poetry, LP is not a collection of random poems, but a book with a progression of the lyric voice, that tells a sort of story.
De las Cenizas de un Mundo Perdido
Poetry
This poetry book is made of more than 200 poems, most of them written in Spanish, and most of them following the same form. It tells the story of a voice which, abandoned in a destroyed world, surrounded by enemies and ugliness, still tries faithfully to live for its ideals, fighting for love, beauty, and its desire to find peace.
Iris of Nostalgia
Poetry (coming soon)
This book deepens into the nostalgias of the lyrical voice, with the particularity that his nostalgia is one for the future, not the past. In the book, we confront our desires, dreams, wishes, efforts and hopes, in order to find peace in the anti natural life of the current world.
75 poems narrate how this person -who came from the ashes of the lost world- managed not only to survive, but to find the beauty and joys of life.
Mímica e Ironía
Narrative, Short Stories (coming soon)
This collection of short stories is written in Spanish. It contains more than 20 stories of different lengths, that deal with some of the most important issues of our society, and how they might have evolved in time. Fundamentally, it tries to find the beauty of life and explore the response to this ideal.
We find young people in love, pirates and sirens, artists, knights, dancers, ghosts, mythical and fantastic creatures, singers, and a precious array of figures that, in reality, represent the spirit of all of us. Hence the name of the book.
Historias del Caballero Perdido
Narrative, Novel
This is the first novel ever written by the author, at the age of 14. Although it’s naturally very different from the more mature work, this novel is a great tale of adventures that makes for a very entertaining reading.
It tells the journey of a knight that gets lost in the desert in the aftermath of a battle in a far away land. Though his first intention is to find his way back home, in his adventures he rediscovers himself and finds new family, friends, and home.
