"I’ve had the good fortune to bring together texts from four of the best Spanish-language writers of their generation. The four stories in this slim volume are devices for discovering how misfortune operates within us. If we read carefully we’ll discover that a piano falling on our heads sometimes dismantles and sometimes plays a spontaneous concert, that bad luck is brittle and irregular."

(From Yuri Herrera's Prologue)
