GABE HUDSON

En siete cuentos y una novela corta, Hudson ofrece un complejo conjunto de personajes cuyos afanes de sobreponerse a las vivencias bélicas resultan tragicómicos. Historias electrizantes que iluminan de un modo inesperado las vivencias intimoas durante, y despues de la guerra del golfo, escritas por un ex combatiente.De la guerra bacteriologica a los efectos psicologicos del conflicto, del uso de los medios como propaganda a la hipocresia de la politica exterior estadounidense, Hudson muestra el lado humano de un enfrentamiento censurado y que el publico tuvo por una suerte de guerra virtual y quirurgica.
