Through stories about violence, alienation, and dystopia, Bazterrica's vision of the human experience emerges in complex, unexpected ways--often unsettling, sometimes thrilling, and always profound. In \"Roberto,\" a girl claims to have a rabbit between her legs. A woman's neighbor jumps to his death in \"A Light, Swift, and Monstrous Sound,\" and in \"Candy Pink,\" a woman fails to contend with a difficult breakup in five easy steps. Written in Bazterrica's signature clever, vivid style, these stories question love, friendship, family relationships, and unspeakable desires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgustina Bazterrica\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Buenos Aires in 1974.
