Four linked novellas from the celebrated Spanish author of Such Small Hands.Kirkus Best Books of 2018 'Barba is a master of the novella . . . A gorgeous, fully realized collection.' - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Nothing is simple for the men and women in Andres Barba's stories. As they go about their lives, they are each tested by a single, destructive obsession. A runner puts his marriage at risk while training for a marathon; a teenager can no longer stand the sight of meat following her parents' divorce; a man suddenly fixates on the age difference between him and his younger male lover. In four tightly wound novellas, Andres Barba establishes himself as a master of the form.
