Mentiras de Dulcamara

Viajes por los Lugares Dúplices

(Duermevela, 2025)

Discover an unexplored Spain populated by the most fantastic and impossible beings of the Paramundo

In the Lugares Dúplices, the most unexpected things can happen: a black chickpea that opens and closes the doors of love, Velázquez's encounter with some mischievous gnomes, or the appearance of a righteous fairy who demands her stolen hand back from a museum.
New stories and legends attached to our land where the unreal and the material intermingle and humor merges with melancholy.

With the imagination of Italo Calvino
and the skill of Susanna Clarke,
Vanesa Pérez-Sauquillo composes
this example of “crack literature.”
A book full of magic, tenderness, and elegance
to keep us daydreaming.
