Features: A brother-sister relationship between long-married couples, this book focuses on the small waves of ordinary married life. The author delves into the protagonist's perspective, meticulously exploring the fading passion, cohabitation with differing dreams, estrangement, and suspicion. Isn't this a faithful reflection of many ordinary families? Amid these commonplace family entanglements, the complexity, variability, and even the baseness and insignificance of human nature are vividly and profoundly revealed. César Pitor differs from the Latin American magical realists we are familiar with. Magical realism often emphasizes sensational and extraordinary forms of expression, while Pitor seems more concerned with the extraordinary qualities of ordinary people. In other words, he excels at discovering and portraying the hidden mysteries of human nature obscured by the mundane. Such mysteries may not be commonplace, but they are possible and reasonable. This book includes five works: "Married Life," "Amélia Otero," "At Night," and others.
