Despite the title, this is a book definitely NOT for children. Here are 21 adult short stories from one of Spain's most accomplished and brilliant writers. Robert Rahula delivers a dazzling collection of contemporary "portilla" short stories - that writing style that interweaves graphic sexual detail, existential philosophy, wry political commentary, and intricate dreamlike plots. A large talking bear waxes philosophical on the nature of evil while eating pancakes. Scientists work together mapping the Higgs Boson particle while secretly plotting the seduction of each others' wives. A man joins the Bad Luck Club and learns the ultimate method for changing his luck. A lover of Thai ladyboys confronts the nature of desire. Pay phones that connect to God. Forbidden pleasures in a crematorium. A duck walks into a bar. All this and more in this wonderful new collection.
