La vida es corta y luego te mueres

Life is Short and Then You Die | Penguin Random House / Reservoir Books, 2015

» 2nd Reprint

A collection of flash fiction pieces on heartbreak, handled with humor and tenderness. 

The humdrum nature of love, sex and life as a couple. The highs, the lows, what turns us on and, above all, what we cannot live without: the woman who drives us nuts, the man we cannot stop thinking about. Or can we…?

The illustrations by Lyona, whose naïf, loveable sketches have already won the hearts of readers in their droves, are the ideal match for these small (and yet great at the same time) stories.
