BOOK / THE END OF THE SAME. Marcelo Cohen

Short Story / Narrative

In addition to breaking with the canon of the short story, these five stories by Marcelo Cohen also break the laws of time and space. The protagonists are exposed to the elements, amidst a twilight atmosphere, where politics, consumption, and desire itself are challenged. They move, then, groping, disoriented, between atypical settings and situations: a prison that opens onto the sea confuses and inspires the prisoners; a man's romance with a mysterious three-armed woman; a widow who walks through marginal streets carrying sex and death; observations, experiences, and thoughts inside a train car that smells of broth; the screams that echo in a subject's head, with no apparent origin, and disrupt his life. Marcelo Cohen achieves a feat of versatility that shatters any traditional notion of realism and immerses the reader in a spectral, hypnotic landscape, where every character is, strictly speaking, a survivor.
