Sus historias no son excesivamente retoricas, y sin embargo sus personajes van evolucionando en lo interno, a un ritmo incluso superior al de la historia donde se desenvuelven. En la tematica de sus relatos esta muy presente la condicion de extranjeria, con todo lo gozoso, aventurero, feliz, triste, amargo, nostalgico y contradictorio que todo esto puede tener. En tal sentido, su trabajo literario es dificil de etiquetar y clasificar, y...
