If you like Murakami, Borges, Italo Calvino, Cortázar, Bolaño and similar writers then you will like my collection of short stories. It is a literary fiction about people, love, hate, fear, freedom, search of identity, magical realism and storytelling. After ten years missing aunt Oana returns to her native town. Her two sisters, cousin and niece are trying to find out what has happened to her, while all they get is a surprising truth about themselves. A salesman meets on a plane his classmate who claims that after the trip to a Greek island he has became a flying monk. What does that mean? A yuppie consultant discovers at the parking level of his office building a mysterious Green Room where a bizarre party takes place all the time. From that moment his monotonous life starts to fill with scary and unexpected events. The last story is about storytelling. A fairy tale that takes place in Amsterdam and consists of three separate stories. There in the labyrinth of streets and channels is a bar with almost no name where all stories are retold to become true and forgotten.
