«El hotel de los cuentos y otros relatos de neuróticos» is the short story anthology by Carme Riera, published by Alfaguara in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
The protagonists of these stories hide intimate and often unconfessable passions: a poetess marked by unrequited love, a woman who is aroused by hearing a male voice on a crossed telephone line, an English botanist given over to a shameful pleasure, and an aristocrat who swaps her two noble lovers for a more dashing one. In these pages, where irony prevails over tragedy, two drives coexist: pleasure and writing.
The volume belongs to Alfaguara's Hispánica collection, within its Spanish-language fiction.
Recommended for readers of short stories and contemporary Spanish fiction, as well as for those familiar with Carme Riera's career.
Carme Riera Guilera is a novelist and essayist. She has also written short stories, scripts for radio and television and literary criticism. She holds a doctorate in Hispanic Philology and is a professor of Spanish literature at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
