Last Night of Carnival, a collection of stories by turns erotic, surreal, and provocative, comprises an exile aesthetic, where the speaker is not only an exile from his homeland, but also from the stale middleclass values of his parents, and from dead pieties of previous generations that have become ossified and codified in the culture. You will find in the pages of Last Night of Carnival a collection of characters you will not soon forget: the professional mourner, who weeps for those who die without family or friends to grieve for them, the man from a subterranean culture that hoards jewels dropped from above while hiding from rats below, the list could go on and on.

Enter the world of Norberto Luis Romero, a world as vivid and fantastic as any imagined by Kafka, Borges, or Calvino.
