Tales and Estrangements
by Aimar Rollan‘Tales and Estrangements’ is a collection of short stories covering various themes, with each working as a standalone. The book brings together thirty short stories: some are longer than others, while others are so short they could be considered flash fiction or micro-stories. Many of them discuss love and indifference, meetings and estrangements, but there are also philosophical, psychological, historical, science fiction and fantasy stories too, as well as realistic tales on mundane subjects. This may seem like a romance book, but it's much more than that. The majority of these tales take place in Barcelona, where the author lived for several years; others take place in his homeland of the Basque Country; there are others that are set in imaginary places. Each story is unique, and each reader will prefer one more than another, but they won't fail to surprise anyone. Some of these stories could even be turned into future novels. The idea behind this book is to entertain the reader with fictional short stories while conveying a central idea that causes them to pause and reflect. These are stories to be read and reread.
