«Traficantes de belleza» is the collection of fifteen short stories by Zoé Valdés, published by Debolsillo in 2000; paperback, 205 pages, in Spanish.
Fifteen stories in which men and women treat beauty as an object of desire: they pursue it, exchange it, use it and sometimes destroy it. The stories move through spiritual worlds, anxieties, joys, abandonments, disenchantments and spells, and show how fascination with body and soul conditions human relationships and identity itself.
It belongs to the Ave Fénix collection from Debolsillo; the work was originally published in 1998 and this edition appeared in March 2000.
Aimed at readers of contemporary fiction in Spanish, especially short stories and brief narrative.
