The birds

Eduardo Berti

SHORT STORIES, 1994. PÁGINAS DE ESPUMA NEW EDITION, 2003. 144 PAGES.

The shadow of a writer or the prehistory of a grandfather, outer space or the shallows of a swimming pool, the sinister possibilities of compote or the almost secret apocalypse of a story in the rain. San Francisco or Patagonia, the discovery of a treasure or the misplacements of love are -just- some of the characters and places and situations and symptoms that flutter in the pages of Los pájaros. Stories that always begin with the deceptive calm of someone who knows he owns a good story and who will take his time to tell each and every one of its feathers, in order to enjoy the reader's surprise when events rush by and there is nothing left to do but surrender to the flight of a new and effective way of narrating. Something that from The Birds onwards could well be defined as bertiginous. Something that from here on, will be identified as the unequivocal vertigo of those stories that have claimed for themselves and forever, the cages of our memory.
