Lost In Cat Brain Land, De Pierce, Came. Editorial Eraserhead Press, Tapa Blanda En Inglés, 2010

Descripción

WINNER OF THE WONDERLAND BOOK AWARD, BEST COLLECTION OF 2010

Sad stories from a surreal world. A fascist mustache. A desert inside a dead cat. The ghost of Franz Kafka. Primordial entities mourn the death of their child. The desperate serve tea to mysterious creatures. A hopeless romantic falls in love with a pterodactyl.

From a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles where robotic gargoyles are law, to a blighted suburbia where the elephant god Ganesh seeks revenge on a man and his android wife, Cat Brain Land is a place of domestic despair and nightmare foreboding. Where sirloin steaks enroll in daycare and ex-lovers return as tiny dolls. This is a land of camel people and the Lord of Meat. The farther into Cat Brain Land you get, the more difficult it will be to get out.
