Cerillas Garibaldi

Garibaldi matches —also called sparklers, firecrackers, or mixed ones— were cardboard strips with drops of explosive that children would set off by dragging them along building facades and stone benches. They contained white phosphorus, and some kids were poisoned by them. Julià Guillamon's short stories are like those Garibaldi matches: little stories that, rubbed against the rough surface of reality, produce sparks of imagination, humor, and critique. AI, fast deco, cables that get tangled up in a drawer without anyone touching them, slices of bread that never go stale, socially conscious art, and video games: click-click, click-click, click-click.
