"After a failure," wrote Fyodor Dostoevsky, the best-laid plans seem absurd. " So it seems that the pain appears after any attempt to be frustrated or if the lack of clarity necessary to resolve in time the blows of fate forced to make wrong decisions. An evocative insight into the complexity of everyday life, completely exposed discursive maturity is the Miguel Sedoff puts in his book of short stories I . In it, the abrupt and violent end, typical of a fantastic story, is not necessary to shock the reader: suspense stories unused, as real as cruel, makes ambiguity of human relationships outweigh any magical fiction.
Sedoff also shatters the myth that only novels cause this urge to turn the page to find out who the murderer or the final absolute bewilderment of some wonderful stories. I tell stories of ordinary people rather than daily or cease to have trim domestic complex and immersive.
With the necessary narrative distance as merit and appeal, the judge has no reality as it is and not what you want. Make a thorough analysis of the characters, he dives into the thread of his thoughts and provides in detail the internal conflicts, which keeps the reader immersed in their minds and speculations. "The perfect story," says the author does not exist. " In everyday life, then most painful events occur and enemies, which take the form of a silent partner, usually their own mistakes.
All his characters have a common axis which is emptiness, sometimes forced to drop or irretrievable and others, by choice. But with the stoicism necessary to address such situations, the slogan "the show must go on" will not be easy to apply for many of its protagonists.
Such is the case of the last story in which George, during a fateful summer, loses his wife and children in a car accident. Nor for the life of Betty, the story "Post-it" when his life after relegation for years to raise a family, skirts the limits of insanity to the repeated infidelities of her husband.
I account, inter alia, the scenes of marital separations caused by painful boredom of everyday life, despair and abuse. It describes the position in the world of a man who suffers from obesity, approached from his innermost thoughts. Also wrong decisions of the protagonists adverse situations that often become nonsense, as in the story "Open Water", in which Reuben, after breaking up with his girlfriend, do not choose best action to recover the self-destruction.
The fidelity of the stories I is so strong that if the author used the same character for all his stories make no difference at all. Almost like deja vu, let this strange sense of familiarity about an event, a place, a memory, a failed attempt as tangible happened, or it can happen to an ordinary person in the least expected moment of his life.
