El lado salvaje / The Wild Side (Spanish Edition)

El lado salvaje nos sumerge en un mundo donde lo inesperado se entrelaza con lo cotidiano, donde la aparente calma de la vida diaria oculta amenazas y donde cada historia revela una faceta nueva de la complejidad humana. 

Una escritora que ve perturbada su rutina por un enigmático hombre que visita el manglar donde ella acostumbra pasear; la descompostura de un tranvía que deja a sus pasajeros expuestos en una zona insegura de San Diego; una operación de rutina que trastoca la vida de una pareja; el inesperado descubrimiento de un cuerpo calcinado al interior de un coche; una muñeca que es testigo de las tribulaciones de una familia a lo largo de distintas generaciones o el vínculo premonitorio que existe entre una madre y su hija son parte de las veintitrés historias que integran este libro. En ellas se explora la conducta de personajes que viven con una constante sensación de peligro, acechados por la vulnerabilidad de su condición o por los fantasmas de sus propios prejuicios.
