A Repulsive Happiness
What would happens if we look beyond the visible? With this irresistible collection of stories the Argentine writer Guillermo Martinez, balancing on the edge between sanity and madness, between fatality and coincidence, between dreams and nightmares, introduces us to the spiritual abyss of his characters who face unusual, even extreme situations.
In 2014 the collection "A Repulsive Happiness" was awarded the newly established prize for best Spanish-language story after the name of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
