Pequeños relatos camaleónicos, telescópicos, autobiográficos, polivalentes, ficticios pero de lejos, inmaculadamente inciertos, estrictos y procaces, dolorosos cuando menos. Son historias breves tan surrealistas como lo es el propio mundo. El autor, de manera radical, deja de ser él mismo durante unos minutos, seguramente aburrido de su propio personaje, y se dedica a meterse en la piel (en los zapatos, dicen los norteamericanos) de cualquier ser que se le ocurra pasar por su mente en esos instantes. Persona, animal o cosa. No importa qué. O un concepto, o un estado de ánimo.

In book seven in the series, a whole new group of guests check into the Inn, each with their own reason for being there and their own story to tell.

The list does not ask Santa for toys or games, but for time with her parents. Abby wonders what ever happened to the child who left the list, and why the list was still in the nutcracker years later. Her research pulls her into an unsolved mystery.

She also hopes that women who have an interest in men of a higher social class will develop confidence to pursue any man that captures their interest, regardless of social class (and men the same towards women).
