Después de siete años sin escribir ficción, Casciari ve acorralada a su pereza con un desafío: escribir un cuento nuevo todos los viernes por la mañana, con el obstáculo de una serie de reglas inquebrantables y un montón de personas observando que no haga trampas. No puede pensar en el cuento antes, ni tener borradores preparados, mi recurrir a su memoria emotiva, porque el tema de cada relato es aportado por oyentes de la radio argentina Urbana Play y Casciari no tiene permitido modificar la consigna.

Este audiolibro recopila las historias más celebradas que el escritor argentino lee en voz alta a la medianoche, en la cadena de televisión de mayor encendido de su país. Todavía no está claro si esto ocurre por el deterioro de la literatura o por la decadencia de la televisión.

Después de la crisis de 2001, una nueva camada de argentinos desembarcó en España. Fueron muchos, estaban muertos de hambre, eran profesionales de clase media y tenían un afán secreto: corromper la cultura ibérica hasta conquistarla. Entre sus objetivos se destacaban: contaminar la gastronomía peninsular, seducir a la mujer española, imponer sobremesas filosóficas, masificar el consumo de dulce de leche, obligar a los hinchas de fútbol a entonar cantitos con argumento, educar al carnicero en el corte paralelo al nervio y, sobre todo, invadir las guarderías españolas de chicos con apellidos terminados con la letra "i".

Cada vez que subo las escaleras del Camp Nou y de pronto veo el fulgor del pasto iluminado, en ese momento que siempre nos recuerda a la infancia, digo lo mismo para mis adentros: hay que tener mucha suerte para que te guste mucho un deporte y te toque ser contemporáneo de su mejor versión. Tengo nostalgia del presente cada vez que juega Messi. Los relatos que componen este libro fueron escritos entre los mundiales de Sudáfrica 2010 y Brasil 2014 y los atraviesa una sensación alarmante: la felicidad es tan efímera como el festejo del delantero que grita el gol sin saber que, a sus espaldas, el juez de línea ha levantado el banderín.

Desde su más rolliza infancia, el gordito Casciari arruinaba las fotos. Todas las fotos. Con el tiempo las cosas cambiaron. Se había convertido en un adolescente que arruinaba, sin querer, los momentos importantes de su vida: amores juveniles, estudios, vidas ajenas y la salud de sus mayores. El clima de Mercedes, el agobio de la situación familiar y la necesidad de escapar, lo impulsaron a la búsqueda de sí mismo por el camino de la escritura, el único sitio donde todavía es posible inventarse un pasado mejor.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs.

But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
