«Amores imperfectos» is the short story collection by Edmundo Paz Soldán, published by Alfaguara in paperback (236 pages, in Spanish).
This collection of short stories explores love as an elusive ideal that cracks under weaknesses, forgetfulness, and betrayals. Paz Soldán alternates fleeting relationships and lasting bonds, with characters seeking connection in a modern world. The work includes «Dochera», winner of the 1997 Juan Rulfo Prize, and «El dolor de tu ausencia».
The work consists of twenty-three stories and is organized into two sections according to the length of the narratives. This edition belongs to Alfaguara's Hispánica collection.
For readers of Latin American short fiction and stories about the contradictions of love.
