La Casa de Abajo, ubicada en la comunidad rural de San Agustín, Jalisco, es una finca donde coinciden cientos de historias con un trasfondo claroscuro. Este primer libro compila tres historias que, según algunos lectores, no solo estimulan la imaginación para recrear los hechos, sino que también les ha perturbado el sueño.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian.
