Los doce cuentos de este libro fueron escritos em el curso de los últimos dieciocho años. Antes de su forma actual, cinco de ellos periodísticas y guiones de cine, y uno fue un serial de televisión. Otro lo conté hace quince años en una entrevista grabada , y el amigo a quien se lo conté lo trancribió y lo publicó, y ahora lo he vuelto a escribir a partir de esa versión.
