It can be said that the author of these stories is a genuine hipster. The hipsters, precursors of the beat generation, were hooligans without a job or profit, jazz musicians with a trumpet, poets without readers and crazy people, voluntarily removed from the cells of the urban hive and the social contract. All of Miquel Silvestre's writing, animated by solid black humor, accurate prose and muscular endings, faithfully portrays his complete and exact knowledge of this nonsense, but without this implying a safe passage for apathy or paralysis. Yes, perhaps, for a misanthropic and ironic nihilism. In the present selection of stories, this artistic thought becomes even clearer, imbued with a redemptive cynicism that nevertheless shelters a sincere, poetic but allergic sensitivity to affectation. This book is made up of short desperate pieces through which some hilarious and emotional characters stir, rushing to escape from themselves.
