Los Terneros

Taxidermist painters who are shipwrecked in a hostile society, blind people who know the urban labyrinths, naked motorcyclists who ride along avenues, foreigners who learn a language by confessing, dying pilots who rest by reading Saint-Exupéry or lives abducted by Cervantes and Petrarca. Some live in the midst of Venezuelan anxiety, others with the lurking terrorism in France or the symbolic Mexico of the bullets of the revolution. Impeccable and masterful in his stories, Rodrigo Blanco Calderón builds a tableau of nocturnal characters, who become victims and executioners of a sacrifice, of the atonement that is life at any time, in any space, in which we are all "calves."
