Tanta gente sola
» Mario Vargas Llosa NH Short Fiction Award 2010 to the best published collection
» Finalist Booksellers Prize 2009
Contains a single narration in which ludicrous tragic characters cohabit with those capable of transforming their illness into an advantage or failure into a great success.
Juan Bonilla sets characters and situations with the precision of a watchmaker who masters the tools of his trade.
In his stories there are always surprises, words that open doors to new readings, ingenuity, and above all, a meticulous care for language. Undoubtedly, the greatest stories of a great storyteller.
