How would a writing that wanted to be physical be? What would words be like if they were broken? If they were sometimes glass fragments that cut, sometimes lights that warmed, occasionally shelters that saved? How would writing be if language was a child's game, if it was a life raft or a constellation that calmed our long nights?
The heroes of the stories converse with decay, loss, death, sexuality, addiction, wander in the ruins of childhood, of the birthplace, of erotic faith, clash with social pressure, the power of parenthood, violence and authority, rave in a strange theater where eroticism, psychic trauma, vital lies and their inner negotiation are the scenery of a dreamlike construction, which enters and affects us sometimes like a nightmare and sometimes like a caress.
Therapeutic Deterioration is the intermediate space of therapy and reconciliation with trauma and loss, in which the situation temporarily worsens before its final improvement and healing.
Forty short stories and one long narrative about language as an illuminated refuge.
