Flores que se abren de noche

Description

Flowers That Bloom at Night is the third book by the Argentine writer Tomás Downey and the first published in Spain. The four stories that make up this collection offer different varieties of disturbance. With precise, beautiful, and forceful prose, Downey opens a crack in reality; each story suspends the world as we know it and moves decisively toward other possible ones.

The characters who inhabit these stories are in crisis: their most intimate bonds—sometimes due to extreme closeness, other times due to painful absence—push them into situations that are in some sense extreme, from which one either emerges transformed or does not emerge at all.
