Kafka en traje de baño
Franco Félix

SHORT STORIES | 2017 | 191 pages

Mil monos muertos by Franco Félix is a collection of stories filled with humor, a fundamental characteristic of the author’s storytelling: seemingly naive characters who demonstrate that we should never lose that quality, since it is the one that points us to genius. The characters are extremely varied: succubi who try to convince strange people that they can fly; Suicide girls, the famous page with tattooed girls who try to become famous for their fake tattoos by any means; a photographer who tries to take an impossible shot at all costs, putting her life at risk. Those who populate these pages are protagonists who break out of everyday life and walk the path of the fallen. The merit is entirely Franco’s, as he scrutinizes his characters’ interior thoughts and places them amidst ethical dilemmas—releasing a fart that can save our lives. And this is where the identification comes in—because who among us hasn’t been faced with a similar crossroads?
