Anstelle einer in Schwierigkeiten geratenen jungen Dame zu helfen, fühlt sich ein Arzt von ihr provoziert und lässt sich lieber auf ein Kräftemessen ein, damit er sich ein einziges Mal gegenüber einer selbstsicheren Frau überlegen fühlen darf.

I am the book that reads its audiences. I am the fly on the wall, the butler looking through the keyhole, the silent witness who is now talking. I expose the truths that were hidden.

La primera colección de cuentos cortos de Hugo Burel augura el gran narrador uruguayo en el que se convertirá en el futuro. En estos cuentos ya están presentes las simientes de su estilo literario, de su prosa seca y a la vez contundente, de su gusto por los laberintos de la novela negra y el thriller psicológico, y de su habilidad a la hora de urdir tramas alegóricas en las que refleja a su Uruguay contemporáneo desde una mirada tan enamorada como carente de piedad.

I racconti di "È solo nella tua mente ed è reale" si muovono in queste atmosfere stranianti e bizzarre, inquietanti e surreali, cercando di rispondere al segreto della psiche con uno sguardo attento e brillante.

In der schriftlich fixierten Sprachanwendung ist Albert Ehrenstein den meisten zeitgenössischen Autoren um Lichtjahre voraus, dennoch ist er bis heute nahezu unbekannt. Gepaart mit herrlicher Situationskomik und einem großartigen Verständnis für Menschen und Gesellschaftsstrukturen entsteht so eine bemerkenswerte Prosa, welche ihren poetischen Glanz auf diesem Hörbuch in Form der Erzählung Seltene Gäste erstrahlen lässt: Man hüte sich vor seiner Wahrnehmung, denn Perspektiven täuschen nur allzu leicht.

Question: when do sewer rats in suburbia acquire intelligence and cunning? Answer: when they begin calling each other names.

Si tratta di un racconto lungo. Un facchino uccide e deruba un compagno di sbornie. Compie poi, sulla spinta del senso di colpa, una serie di errori che porteranno al suo smascheramento e al suo arresto. Si avverte l'influenza sulla narrazione di Zola e del naturalismo. Si avvertono, inoltre, echi kafkiani e dostoevskijani, ma sopratutto traspare la passione dell'autore per l'analisi psicologica.

Drei Erzählungen von Nikolai Gogol. Nikolai Gogol (1809-1852) war nicht nur ein brillanter Satiriker, er konnte auch in die Zukunft sehen. Beispiel: "Wißt ihr denn auch, daß der Beck [...] eine Warze unter der Nase hat?" ("Aufzeichnungen eines Wahnsinnigen"). Gut, er hat Volker Beck mit Claudia Roth verwechselt, aber angesichts einer zeitlichen Distanz von über 150 Jahren ist das trotzdem eine beachtliche Leistung.
