Compensations

Four tales hovering between magical realism and ordinary unreality, where physical, affective and spiritual needs, to be compensated, depend on what the world can offer.

"Da Capo" - a violinist suffers an accident and loses part of his hand. Although new technologies offer some solutions, sometimes a person must accept the irreparable.

"A match of chess" - the efforts of an accomplished chess player in his self-imposed quest to beat an unknown opponent.

"The multi-pointed stars" - influenced by H. P. Lovecraft, the tale recounts the efforts of an investigation team trying to solve the mystery of some brutal killings - including the difficulty of differentiating responsibilities from obligations and beliefs from facts.

"Brussels" - a great friendship seems unable to lose its strength even with the distance that separates it, the failures of early adulthood, time, reality or travelling on a shoestring budget.
