«Puerto libre» is Ángeles Mastretta's collection of short stories, published by El País Aguilar in paperback (236 pages, in Spanish).
In these stories, Mastretta understands the free port as a refuge for chance and memory: a territory of imagination and desire where one can find innocence, risk and fierceness. Written as a homage to fading zones of euphoria, the stories propose winning from life something better than reality.
Published in 1994, it bears the subtitle «Un refugio para el azar y la memoria» and belongs to the El Viaje Interior collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish, especially those who enjoy short stories that combine imagination, desire and memory.
