Hard, spare, and hungry Manuel García tracks desire where it actually lives: in hands callused from work, in the quiet between words, in the scrape of a shoulder against a doorway. These are men who do not explain themselves; they act. The prose smells of sweat and diesel, leather and soap, and carries the weight of what is left unsaid. The title story is a small wound that never fully heals. Marcus leaves for the army and the emptiness he leaves behind becomes a landscape an apprenticeship that stops tasting like pastry, a stairwell, a knock on an old friend's door. Kylian's longing is literal: a body waiting to be touched, a mouth that remembers how it felt. The encounter with strangers and semi-familiar faces Ronan, Ange folds memory into the present until past heat and new hands become indistinguishable. Reimagined passage: the city air tastes of fryer oil and rain; Kylian's heart is a stubborn drum under his ribs as he turns the corner by the Salle des Fêtes. A boy in tight jeans stands framed by neon; the sight of him is a small, dangerous promise. Words start clumsy and honest who are you, what do you want and then the conversation loosens into touch. A hand brushes the small of a back, a laugh that smells of cigarettes, the shy press of a palm against a thigh. The world narrows to denim, skin, and a pulse that answers to proximity. Ronan's telephone, Ange's smile, the slow reclaiming of appetite: each meeting is a tiny initiation back into wanting. García's pages do not soften desire; they sharpen it. These stories leave an aftertaste: the memory of a jaw set against yours, the echo of a train's metal on skin, the quiet arithmetic of favors and favors returned. Close the book and you'll still feel the heat like someone's hand at the small of your back, guiding you toward something you were only pretending to forget.

Klappentext

Hard, spare, and hungry - Manuel García tracks desire where it actually lives: in hands callused from work, in the quiet between words, in the scrape of a shoulder against a doorway. These are men who do not explain themselves; they act. The prose smells of sweat and diesel, leather and soap, and carries the weight of what is left unsaid. The title story is a small wound that never fully heals. Marcus leaves for the army and the emptiness he leaves behind becomes a landscape - an apprenticeship that stops tasting like pastry, a stairwell, a knock on an old friend's door. Kylian's longing is literal: a body waiting to be touched, a mouth that remembers how it felt. The encounter with strangers and semi-familiar faces - Ronan, Ange - folds memory into the present until past heat and new hands become indistinguishable. Reimagined passage: the city air tastes of fryer oil and rain; Kylian's heart is a stubborn drum under his ribs as he turns the corner by the Salle des Fêtes. A boy in tight jeans stands framed by neon; the sight of him is a small, dangerous promise. Words start clumsy and honest - who are you, what do you want - and then the conversation loosens into touch. A hand brushes the small of a back, a laugh that smells of cigarettes, the shy press of a palm against a thigh. The world narrows to denim, skin, and a pulse that answers to proximity. Ronan's telephone, Ange's smile, the slow reclaiming of appetite: each meeting is a tiny initiation back into wanting. García's pages do not soften desire; they sharpen it. These stories leave an aftertaste: the memory of a jaw set against yours, the echo of a train's metal on skin, the quiet arithmetic of favors and favors returned. Close the book and you'll still feel the heat - like someone's hand at the small of your back, guiding you toward something you were only pretending to forget.
