Chewing Gum for Travel
Short stories | Metaixmio Publications | 2026
Humans-saplings that try to stand upright against the livelong duration of opposing winds,
Men who come face to face with insecurity, vanity and loss.
Women who live with loneliness and despair and others who pursue utopia.
Overprotective mothers and others who are awkward or self-absorbed.
Tender, lovey-dovey grandmothers and others who are somehow misunderstood.
Sons and daughters who suffer the consequences of parental behaviour or who try to escape using understanding and forgiveness.
Nineteen stories that span some thirty years or more, each written in a different style, language and structure. With the comic or surrealistic element alternating with the dramatic and sometimes with emotion.
