by Alex Nder Obando (Author)

From the back cover: This is legendary costarican author Alexander Obando first collection of short fiction. It contains pieces from 1987 to 2012. These stories weave terrifying landscapes from strands of the fantastic, dreamlike, hallucinatory or sordidly real. Sex and violence are, as is usual in Obando's ouvre, roads to a usually painful personal illumination. His imagination knows no bounds: shrinking houses, child murderers, cosmogonic myths, teenage transvestites, references to London, Whitman, Woolf, plagues, dystopian futures, cannibalism: the human heart's own chaos. (Please note this book is in Spanish) De la contratapa: Teoría del caos recopila lo mejor de la obra de narrativa corta del legendario Alexánder Obando escrita entre 1987 y 2012. Estos relatos hilvanan parajes temibles con los hilos de la fantasía, lo onírico, las alucinaciones y lo sórdidamente real. Sexo y violencia, como es de esperar en la obra de Obando, son caminos a una iluminación personal casi siempre dolorosa. La imaginación de Obando no conoce límites: casas que se encogen; niños asesinos; mitos cosmogónicos o escatológicos; muchachos travestidos; referencias a London, Whitman, Woolf; piezas teatrales; pestes y plagas; mundos distópicos; canibalismo: el caos propio del corazón humano. Alexánder Obando (San José, 1958) ha publicado las novelas El más violento paraíso (2001, 2009) y Canciones a la muerte de los niños (2008), así como el volumen de poesía reunida Ángeles para suicidas (2010), con el que obtuvo el Premio Nacional Aquileo J. Echeverría. Trabajos suyos han sido incluidos en antologías de Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Estados Unidos y España.
