Overview

Las palabras tienen poderes mágicos. Son letras, sílabas y frases con la capacidad de dibujar historias en el pensamiento, son un viaje por la vida y las situaciones, reales o ficticias, acompañadas casi siempre por una banda sonora mental cuyo objetivo es llenar aquel vacío que todos tenemos, aunque no nos guste admitirlo.

Lo que escribo en la arena (cuentos y otras cosas que se olvidan) captura la magia de las palabras y su versatilidad para tocar y mover diferentes figuras y temas relevantes para el ser humano: relaciones amorosas, recuerdos de la infancia, problemas de salud mental, el ocaso de la vida y el dolor secreto de un inmigrante con sueños de regresar a su país, mas no físicamente, sino a través de sus obras.

La obra contiene cuentos y microrrelatos, algunos de ellos premiados en concursos como Cuéntale tu cuento a La Nota Latina, Cuentomanía y Microcuento.es; con ilustraciones del artista Julián Gómez; sin duda una lectura ideal para jóvenes y adultos.
