La mala reputació (Bad Reputation) is a collection of thirteen short stories with often disoriented characters in a world that turns apparently unperturbed and enigmatic. Concerns and secrets are revealed by a script that catches the reader and invites everyone to rip the protective layer of social forms and reputation. Cruelty and purity, sex and violence as two vital engines.
In these stories, the author evokes a personal world, where the most delicate and most terrible of the human condition become two sides of the same coin.
With the magic and precision of a knife-thrower, Bel Olid explores personal relationships, incommunication, violence and sex with a clean voice that mutes, when necessary, to say more.
