Summer, heat and humidity, sexual adventures, body, obsessions, casual experiences, swingers, forbidden relationships and self-discoveries, same-sex relationships, freshness, dripping and sweaty prose, sex and madness, the connection to the body, the need for love. Sexuality and diversity from the perspective of sixteen contemporary Latin American writers from seven countries. Welcome and welcome to the exhibition of 21st century passions. A world in which people roam in a search – sometimes desperate – for experiences and touch, sex and love, comfort and excitement, skin, communication and ecstasy. The event will open with a trip to Acapulco, a foray to the Uruguayan coast, or a moment when a hair gets stuck in her throat in the middle of oral sex. From there, the stories will take you to their intimate realms. Look at the passersby. Everyone has a story of passion, everyone has a secret or an unspoken confession. We and our fellow pedestrians carry within us a repressed incident, an unfulfilled desire, inappropriate behavior, a burning memory, an unusual plot in the sequence of life. Well, that's the stuff this book is made of. Without metaphors, allegories, and symbols: "The Book of Passions" contains direct, simple, and honest stories - and therefore they penetrate straight into our nervous system. Before us is a collection of writing styles, as styles of contact. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to listen to the voices of the best contemporary Latin American writers, speaking their minds and unfolding their work before us in a kind of sensory symphony.
