Andrés Portillo is an excellent storyteller, friend of perfection, continuous grinding of a work until it what your mind wants. One patient from this that is literature. His first publication, however, was a novel and it continues to demonstrate that the path of the editing of stories is still very limited in Spain. I myself took two years trying to publish a storybook. The editors cast their hands in their head when I say that this book also belongs to a trilogy, there are two books of stories behind.
House and disenchantment of a man without grace is a novel that I find another Andres Portillo, the writer of novels, with a slower pace and a narrative tone very close to Luis Landeros, which I was pleasantly surprised. The novel tells the story of a 40-year-old bachelor who lives with his mother and a girl of 20 shows the real world. Predictable plot in which Andrew deepens the search for the whys of this world action universalizing bland character. The ending, though not surprisingly, is enjoyable.
I'm glad this first publication of Andrés Portillo, and hopefully see the light of their stories on paper as soon as possible. Already been published in some anthologies (perversions, stories for hungry) and magazines such as The Other Side of the Mirror, but their quality in the 100 meter dash, deserves more attention, deserves a book so we can all enjoy them.
