«Eleven indisputable stories. Barrios has written his best book. And one of the best storybooks I have read in a long time.» J. Ernesto Ayala Dip, El País

«Barrios prose is like a blues song, like a balm for pain (...) pain as a way to illuminate life, as a source of knowledge.» Enrique Turpin, La Vanguardia

«An exceptional book. A beautiful, stark and moving collection of short-stories.» Pilar Castro, El Mundo

«A handful of stories subtly interwoven as if by silken threads, which makethem hang together. Pain, drama and lives that explode like a land mine before the reader’s eyes.»
Javier Goñi, Mercurio
