    paper El beso del fantasma

    Everyone knows that ghosts live among us because they have a final mission to fulfill before leaving the world for good. But what happens when it’s the ghost itself that can’t even grasp what that task entails?

    David died when his relationship with Ana was finally gaining some solidity. Now, both are alone and unsure of what each other felt just before that fateful moment. But perhaps a reunion is brewing, in some way.

    Perhaps “The Ghost’s Kiss” is a teenage love story, but that doesn’t mean we’re talking about immature feelings, not at all. Along with the care with which everything related to romantic love is handled, the protagonist’s inner world, his deepest feelings, and his peculiar vision of what love between two people should entail, are revealed with extraordinary artistry. On the other hand, through Ana, the sometimes complex way of feeling and acting during adolescence is accurately captured. Doubts, fears, not knowing exactly what one is searching for and finding… It’s interesting to highlight the author’s insight into the afterlife. Leaving aside any religious considerations, it’s truly thought-provoking to contemplate a world of the dead that is by no means devoid of life, which turns this supposed paradox into an element of enormous attraction for the reader.
