Bird of Prey

After finishing his MA in Anthropology Hugo spends his days giving his brain a rest from the endless reading of texts by unknown authors His only company is Luisa the cleaning lady with whom he plays cat and mouse To escape the sleep of reason which creates monsters Hugo exercises his lyrical vein by writing with his friend Manuel songs about their neighbourhood The quiet dilettantism of our protagonist is shaken by Catarina a young and beautiful translator whos starting her professional life as a freelancer Hugo is hooked and wavers High above a kestrel falcon hovers Its not the only bird of prey that can do it
