The stories written by Michelle Recinos are charged with violence. Sometimes it is the State who exercises it, as in her book Sustancia de hígado, censored by the Government of El Salvador; and other times, violence appears in the daily life of characters who have lost their ability for reaction.

A critical and scathing prose that, far from being mere entertainment, stands as a mirror that reflects uncomfortable truths.
