El destino es un conejo que te da órdenes

Fate is a rabbit that orders you around | Pepitas de Calabaza, 2019

A suppository that becomes an ingenious system for controlling the powerful, a psychedelic bachelor party in Texas, a conspiracy to bring erotic subversion to a religious school, a politician entrenched in a video game or nuns gambling in a Las Vegas casino are some of the ideas that make up ‘El destino es un conejo que te da órdenes’, the first collection of short stories by Mexican writer Eduardo Rabasa.

Reading these stories one gets the feeling that all his protagonists have stared into the abyss and are just one step away from madness or becoming God. Literary classics such as Carroll, Orwell or Swift sound in the background, and are twisted without fear or modesty for the sake of the best literature.
