Leisure Tales


Mauricio Vallejo Márquez
Tales of Leisure. I wrote this plaquette of microstories while working at a newspaper. It was fun. At first they were longer stories that I was narrowing down to the bare essence of each story.
microstories wrote more in those years, but by launching the first edition in 2006 made a selection that fit the message I tried to give: leisure. In 2007 published a second edition of 1000 copies by the exhaustion of 200 from the first. It moved a little slower, but steady.
Sometimes people think that leisure is the moment nothing is done. Leisure is an opportunity to continue or change. The characters in this book, which has already sold 622 copies, are that. Prints of a company, small samples of people who still roams the streets.
