Fiction
A journey to life’s most profoundly absurd side.
A multimillionaire discovers a philosopher’s hand in his garden. A dying man traps his life in the palm of his hand and lives in constant fear of losing it. A man goes out for a walk and, upon returning home, discovers a strange family has been living in his house for years. These and other stories comprise Chronicles of a Hidden Truth (1955), Pere Calders’s most popular book, which was written in Mexico, and employs metaphor to illuminate the experience of exile and war, as well as simple universal human anxieties.
