Here, a bumbling prostitute-turned-fugitive bewilderingly avoids capture. Back-biting mothers hand down judgment on their neighbors and the world from their front lawns. A desperate dog-owner will do anything to have his precious animal sent to a taxidermist. A young Chosen One with a curious gift helps his fellow parishioners find God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMundo Cruel\u003c\/i\u003e, Luis Negron's debut book, elegantly presents to its readers a world both tragic and outrageous. Masterfully satirical with a discrete solemnity at its core, Mundo Cruel's most remarkable element is its language. Several of its stories feature unnamed protagonists brought to life by their speech--colloquial, self-incriminating, and idiosyncratic--revealing Negron's talent for conjuring the spoken word in all its subtlety.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Rose Books \u0026 More","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51149619265824,"sku":"u9781615054503","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781615054503.jpg?v=1769205863","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/mundo-cruel-stories-by-luis-negron","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
