Una historia del tacto/ The Hand of Fire II. A History of Touch - Alberto Ruy Sánchez

-Anne Solal

Aquí se le arrebata la máscara al personaje principal, descubierto en sus secretos más extraños por un contador tradicional que en la plaza pública despliega ante nuestros ojos lo más inesperado y asombroso. La búsqueda del deseo es interminable porque de lo bueno siempre queremos más. Y en el horizonte brilla llamándonos la experiencia del fuego erótico total, clave de lo posible en la vida. Eso que, tenazmente, nuestro cuerpo siempre busca pronunciar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“This culminating story of the Mogador saga—unexpected and absorbing—is to touch what the novel *Perfume* is to smell. It is no coincidence that Octavio Paz said Ruy Sánchez is the most atypical, because he writes from a territory wider than a country: the territory of the skin.”

- Anne Solal

Here the mask is ripped from the main character, revealed in his most unusual secrets by a traditional storyteller who, in the public square, unfolds before our eyes the most unexpected and astonishing things. The search for desire is endless, because when something is good, we always want more. And on the horizon shines, calling to us, the experience of total erotic fire — the key to what is possible in life. That which, tenaciously, our bodies always strive to pronounce.
