Cronicas imaginàrias - Romièg Jumèu - ATS 164

(Imaginary chronicles)

These "chronicles" tell of a strange land, where the truth is never so strong as when it turns fantastic: what about that child born old? About the girl who doesn't want to give her beauty to the artist who paints her? About the man who gets lost in his own enigmas?
Eleven short stories of cold cruelty, chiseled in a naked language of terrible effectiveness.

Aquelas cronicas nos parlan d'un país estranh ont la vertat es pas jamai tan fòrta coma quand vira al fantastic. Que dire d'aquel enfant nascut vièlh ? D'aquela filha que vòl pas donar sa beutat a l'artista que la pintra ? D'aquel que s'engana dins sas pròprias enigmas ?

Qualques nòvas d'una crudestat freja, escrinceladas dins una lenga nusa d'una eficacitat terribla.
