Memories Out of the Coloured Box

About the Book

The Bruja Collection is the second volume in the series Out of the Coloured Box, an actual chest in which the author, over some fifty years in the UK, had thrown scribbles on paper, fiction half-written or written but unpublished, poems read at literary events, drafts of papers presented at universities, and so on. Those scribbles were in addition to what the author refers to as the Archive in My Head. The general theme of the work is an exploration of some aspects of love—aspects which bring joy to some people, pain to others, and even death (or the appearance of being alive while actually being dead inside).
