About the book:
This book is the son of perplexity and urgency, of disagreement with reality, of the need to understand it. It is the book that would write the one that does not fit at the party, He who does not know who to talk to in her, the one who still wonders why he has been invited. The one who has disguised as an astronaut while the others wear a medieval fair. It is an amazed and disagreement book, what are you looking for, Despite everything, reasons; Explain and explain to himself the secret logic of things. Leonera is a compilation of brief pieces of a great observer of reality and the implicit contradictions in the human soul. Stories that are arrows, Single assault, one night romances; that do not look for points or the extension, that do not postpone or speculate. What they want to provoke, stimulate the thought and emotion of the reader, and celebrate fiction, What has revelation. Declared admirer of the stateless prose of Julio Ramón Ribeyro, Fernando León de Aranoa has created its own literary genre among the story, The micro -relationship, Aphorism and the newspaper to offer brief epiphanies about love and its opposites, About the passage of time, family and friendship, Creativity and imagination.
