by Sergio Ramírez (Author)

«Canto que emiten los pájaros: trino. Encadenamiento fatal de sucesos: destino.

Una mujer combate la soledad haciendo crucigramas. Una familia acomodada se entera de que su hijo se ha hecho amigo del hijo de un narco. Un hombre sufre impotencia y acude a un inefable urólogo. Otro ve cómo su tranquila vida de jardinero se altera fortuitamente. Todo un pueblo es masacrado en Guatemala por un contingente del ejército al que habían convidado a un asado...

Los relatos de Ese día cayó en domingo giran en torno a cuatro temas fundamentales: la familia y el amor, la memoria --individual y colectiva--, la muerte y la vida cotidiana. Aquí están todas las claves de la narrativa del autor, considerado uno de los maestros del género en español: el humor, su preferencia por los protagonistas perdedores que encierran toda la dignidad del mundo y el compromiso irreductible con el ser humano.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

«Song emitted by birds: trill. Fatal chain of events: fate."

A woman tries to overcome loneliness by doing crossword puzzles. A wealthy family finds out that their son has befriended a drug dealer's son. A man suffers from impotence and goes to an appalling urologist. Another man sees his quiet life as a gardener fortuitously altered. An entire town is massacred in Guatemala by an army soldier who had been invited to a barbecue...

The stories in That Day Fell on a Sunday revolve around four fundamental themes: family and love, memory --individual and collective--, death, and every-day life. In this great work we find all the keys to the author's narrative style --considered one of the masters of the genre in Spanish language literature-- humor, his preference for down and out protagonists but who embody all the dignity in the world, and his ever-present commitment to the human being.
