Description
Fast, precise, hilariously timed and mercilessly honest, this lively anthology of stories lays bare every pretension ever to have offered comfort to the middle-class psyche. From the zeal of a mother's group staging a world-record breastfeeding attempt, to couples role-playing their way into parenthood at a third world "adoption workshop," to partners so affectionate they only communicate through baby talk--and lovers so addicted to arguing that even acts of God can't deter them--this show more humorous collection represents an exclusive English interpretation of award-winning writing. With stories so delicate and fleet-footed that even the most single-minded protagonists prove likable in their raucous charm and with insightful cultural references that highlight the differences and similarities of modern human nature, this intriguingly sardonic literary grouping is a refreshing foray into relationships, life, and love as a competitive sport. show lessTags

Un grupo feminista que organiza una charla con la discriminación, un hombre que se enfada con su novio después de soñar que lo encuentra en la cama con otro o una pareja que asiste al cursillo obligatorio para padres adoptivos. Los trece cuentos de Te quiero si he bebido, son retratos, entre cómicos y amargos, de la vida moderna, escritos con un estilo tan riguroso como desvergonzado, que la crítica ha definido como turbulento, cínico y lleno de ingenio.
