Synopsis "El museo de los esfuerzos inútiles (in Spanish)"

Provocadora desde sus primeros libros, Peri Rossi narra en esta obra de 1983 la historia de aquel museo cuyo catálogo alberga la enorme cantidad de esfuerzos inútiles de la humanidad.

“Con acidez e ironía de alto vuelo literario se eponen aquí las esperanzas frustradas de los hombres contemporáneos, habitantes de ciudades artificiales y alienantes en las que han sido atrapados por las fuerzas de la represión política, las convenciones sociales, la rutina o las neurosis propias.” Francisca Noguerol

“Uno de los mejores libros de cuentos del siglo . Seduce por su originalidad, su ingenio y sabiduría. 30 relatos, 30 joyas.” Reina Roffé
