"Erotism is one of the aspects of the inner life of men. We make mistakes with it because it looks endlessly outside for an object of desire. But that object responds to the interiority of desire." These words by Georges Bataille may serve as a gateway to enter the humid landscapes explored in Almohada para diez. The reader has in his hands a bouqué dedicated to hedonism and the deepest skin, an erotic and non tragic ten that dives without any ado into what happens not only between the bed sheets but outside of them. A writer that during a literary festival in Berlin finds himself in an intense exchange of passions; a nurse obsessed with the phallus of a coma patient; a yuppie from San Francisco that tastes the bitter pleasures of infidelity; a wife that is shocked to find his husband's double life; an incidental couple that gives free reign to their sexuality in a crowded restaurant; a man that tries to find the divine spark in the bodies that London offers him; a photographer that travels to New York to meet a lustful shadow of his past; a prude that runs into the libidinous face of charity; six voices that follow other roads of sensuality; a tenant that dissapears after comming in contact with the ghost of his desire; this are the chosen guides through the voluptous oddisey that Almohada para diez presents. We should give fair warning to the uncautious reader, no one leaves here a virgin.
