This collection of short stories by a Cuban-American writer offers a wide variety of plots and moods, from the humorous to the surrealistic to the erotic. Regardless, each story is unique and memorable and will entrance the reader. Among the stories, 'Calvin' is a young man who is a magnet to the wrong kind of women. No matter the situation, he always ends up with a dismal partner. 'Trees' are a neo-Nazi threat and the trees are put on trial for their crimes against humanity. 'Ashes to Ashes' take place when a wife and an ex-wife fight over the husband---who is dead. 'Revenge' is about a writer who gets even with his public. And many more.
