Flores que se abren de noche exerts a unique influence. Like a subtle change in light, it shifts the coordinates of time and space, transporting us to a seemingly familiar yet parallel reality. What happens between two young cousins who live in the Delta and one day discover they are not cousins? Can a CET teach us to be better people? What would we do if we could bring a deceased child back to life? Can human beings be pets? This book does not provide answers but rather presents stories that are also small novels, prompting us to ask profound questions and discover that what defines a time and place is not what we see or know. In Flores que se abren de noche, his long-awaited third book, Tomás Downey activates his great imagination with an eloquent and precise style that makes this collection of stories a magnetic work.
