Author: Roura, Mercè

This book is a handful of stories that I needed to tell while trying to hold my world from falling apart. A lot of irreverent, reckless and daring words that we all whisper sometimes, but few of us dare to say out loud ...

And while I took them out of my gut, one by one, and they scratched my soul, I discovered that those words were the antidote to everything, that they healed my wounds and brought my sorrows to the sun. I realized that we are all the same mass of fears and that what makes us different is the way we deal with them and that I would never hide again even if I had to make the loudest ridicule.

I knew it was better to be reckless and cross a few lines than to fall short and wonder all my life what would have happened if I had had the courage. With respect, with some sanity, recklessness makes us wiser.

So I decided to take the risk of undressing myself, word for word, and I let my world fall… Let's see what happened.

This book is the result of what happened.
