Hermosos caminos planos

Beautiful Flat Paths | Blatt & Ríos, 2026

Olivia Gallo is a keen observer of characters, landscapes, and personalities, and sooner or later her writings take shape as a short story—a genre she handles with expert skill. Contemporary life, the lives of young people, their relationships, their connections, and the fragility to which they are exposed in the 21st-century world form the fabric of these stories.


Gallo’s creations flow through this book—rich, contradictory, complex, and uncertain. The light and shadow of her characters engage with the fluidity of our times. From the observer on the other side of the screen to the instability of work and family life, amid literal and symbolic losses, the stories draw on the turmoil inherent in those seeking revelations that are sometimes denied them.


Each story in Hermosos caminos planos is a remarkable, moving piece, executed with precision. The result Olivia Gallo achieves and offers is a collection of brief works of art.
