Lenguaje corporal seductor

Los doce cuentos de este libro fueron escritos em el curso de los últimos dieciocho años. Antes de su forma actual, cinco de ellos periodísticas y guiones de cine, y uno fue un serial de televisión. Otro lo conté hace quince años en una entrevista grabada , y el amigo a quien se lo conté lo trancribió y lo publicó, y ahora lo he vuelto a escribir a partir de esa versión. Ha sido uma rara experiencia creativa que merece ser explicada, aunque sea para que los niños que quieren ser escritores cuando sean grandes sepan desde ahora qué insaciable y abrasivo es el vicio de escribir.

California became a territory in the United States when the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed in 1848. That treaty ended the Mexican War. Several days before its signing, gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill in what is now Sacramento. The non-Native population of the territory was less than one thousand in 1848, but the gold rush increased that number to one hundred thousand by the end of 1849. The gold rush not only made many people wealthy, it brought ecologic devastation while speeding up California’s statehood. This book richly explores this interesting history.
