Product Details
Overview
«La ley de Herodes: o te chingas o te jodes»
A través de los distintos cuentos que componen La ley de Herodes, Jorge Ibargüengoitia narra, armado con la agudeza crítica que lo caracteriza, algunas de las situaciones más hilarantes y absurdas que envuelven a la vida cotidiana. Con un descarnado sentido del humor, cuenta la pudorosa intimidad de una pareja que acude a una cita médica, el inverosímil cortejo amoroso de un hombre desesperado, el patético final de un encuentro sexual ampliamente prolongado, los extravagantes caprichos a los que se someten los guionistas de cine para llevar a cabo una superproducción o las divertidas argucias de un escritor en apuros económicos, quien hace hasta lo imposible para evadir a sus acreedores.
Jorge Ibargüengoitia logra, como pocos autores en Hispanoamérica, que los lectores se rían abiertamente con él de aquellas pequeñas desgracias de todos los días.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
«The law of Herod: either you get screwed or you screw yourself»
Through the various stories that make up La ley de Herodes, Jorge Ibargüengoitia narrates, armed with the critical sharpness that characterizes him, some of the most hilarious and absurd situations that surround everyday life. With a raw sense of humor, he recounts the modest intimacy of a couple attending a medical appointment, the implausible courtship of a desperate man, the pathetic end of a greatly prolonged sexual encounter, the extravagant whims that movie scriptwriters submit to in order to carry out a super production, or the amusing tricks of a writer in financial trouble who does everything possible to evade his creditors.
Jorge Ibargüengoitia achieves, as few authors in Latin America do, to make readers laugh openly with him about those small daily misfortunes
