La mano del fuego, I / The Hand of Fire (Mogador Quintet)

El editor de la revista erótica El jardín perfumado (especie de Playboy con menos rubias y más costumbres amorosas de otros pueblos) odia eso que se clasifica como literatura erótica y detesta ser considerado autor de ese género. Trata de escribir sobre los Kama Sutras árabes. Pero la vida viene a interrumpirlo, a trastornarlo y demostrarle cada vez que está equivocado. Paralelamente, un alfarero obsesivo vive su oficio como una forma de Kama Sutra involuntario. Las consecuencias nos hacen entrar con él al horno de la vida. Y de la muerte.

Un libro de antiaventuras amorosas en forma de mano, de amuleto, de búsqueda disparatada del erotismo. Afirmación de la sensualidad y la duda.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“A novel—unconventional, structured in the form of a hand or Hamsa—and also a kind of love treatise that at moments brushes up against a mysticism of lovers and their rituals, always the same, always changing, of desire and surrender.” —Ana Clavel

The editor of the erotic magazine The Perfumed Garden (a kind of Playboy with fewer blondes and more amorous customs from other cultures) despises what is labeled as erotic literature and hates being considered an author of that genre. He tries to write about the Arab Kama Sutras. But life interrupts him, upends him, and shows him again and again how wrong he is. Meanwhile, an obsessive potter lives his craft as a kind of involuntary Kama Sutra. The consequences lead us with him into the kiln of life. And of death.

A book of anti–love adventures in the shape of a hand, of an amulet, of a madcap search for eroticism. An affirmation of sensuality and doubt.
