«Traficantes de belleza» is a volume of fifteen short stories by Zoé Valdés, published by Editorial Planeta in hardback (238 pages, in Spanish).
Fifteen stories that can be read as a fragmented novel: their characters traffic in beauty and in their own lives. They include a girl who finds the poet Arthur Rimbaud in Havana, a dancer from the Café Parisién turned Arab princess, an exile in the desert, and a teenager who negotiates photos and future.
It belongs to the Autores Españoles e Iberoamericanos collection and is the fourth edition, published in 1998.
For readers of contemporary short stories and Cuban literature who enjoy fragmented narratives.
