Publicado pela primeira vez em 2005, numa edição artesanal, numerada e restrita a amigos, Nego tudo era, sem ninguém saber, a gênese do que viria a ser a obra de Andréa del Fuego duas décadas depois. Desejo, traição, malícia e acidez permeiam estas páginas explosivas, com textos de linhas ágeis que provocam, incomodam e fazem rir—tal qual em A pediatra, cuja protagonista é o suprassumo desse aspecto mordaz da produção da escritora.

Der Rächer seiner Ehre ist eine Erzählung von Anton Tschechow, in der ein Mann, der seine Frau beim Ehebruch erwischt hat, nach einem Revolver sucht.

I am a good cook myself”—he turned to me. – “How interesting,” I said, attempting to infuse just the right amount of enthusiasm into my voice...

The Baron is a short story by Katherine Mansfield: "Who is he?" I said. "And why does he sit always alone, with his back to us, too?" - "Ah!" whispered the Frau Oberregierungsrat, "he is a Baron." - She looked at me very solemnly, and yet with the slightest possible contempt - a "fancy-not-recognising-that-at-the-first-glance" expression.

A compilation of short horror stories. Some were accepted for publishing in anthologies or ezines that, for one reason or another, never came to fruition, and others are just nasty little chunks of my brain that fell off over the past several years.

لم يكن السيد ساترثويت يعلم يقينًا ما الذي يحمله على الاحتفاظ بعلاقته بالسيد والسيدة دنمان، فهما لا يشبهانه في شيء؛ إنهما لا ينتميان من حيث الجذور إلى العالم المتقدم، ولا ينتميان إلى الأوساط الفنية المثيرة للاهتمام، بل كانا ماديا النزعة، وكانا فوق ذلك شخصين مملين بليدين حقًّا. فأول مرة التقى السيد ساترثويت بهما كانت في بلدة بياريتز الفرنسية، وقد قبل دعوتهما إياه للبقاء معهما، ثم ذهب إليهما وأصابه الملل، ومن الغريب أنه استمر في الذهاب إليهما مع ذلك. لماذا؟ كان يسأل نفسه هذا السؤال في ذلك اليوم الموافق الواحد والعشرين من شهر يونيو، وهو ينطلق مسرعًا خارج لندن بسيارته الرولز رويس.

Мир Чехова — как тонкий свет утра: в нём нет ослепительного блеска, но всё видно ясно и правдиво. Здесь нет громких событий, но каждое слово откликается тихим звоном правды. Его герои живут — просто, неловко, часто больно — и в их обыденности открывается подлинная драма человеческого существования. Сдержанный, проницательный, нежно ироничный, Чехов видит человека без прикрас, но с бесконечным состраданием. Он не судит и не оправдывает — лишь вслушивается в паузы между словами, в тишину после смеха, в сердце, которое всё ещё умеет чувствовать.
