A collection of short stories that jolted Chilean literature from a long siesta and gave literary critics a headache. Too many bad words and too much marihuana for the youth of brand new, neo-liberal Chile. The appearance of this book was like the arrival of television: after its release, literature in this country was never the same. Perhaps for that reason, after surpassing its twentieth edition, it is still captivating new readers. But looking beyond this dazzling style and controversial opinions, these stories are plain good literature.

Connecting directly with Generation Ñ, the second novel by Fuguet runs at a breakneck speed. It sometimes feels more like a video clip than a conventional novel. Fuguet tells stories with a common background of adolescence, of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll. At the high speed that this novel is narrated, it questions the present from the perspective of diverse protagonists - men and women living a doubtful and strange modernity; in this sense, Por favor, rebobinar is a great chronicle of our times.

Suicides, accidents, and murders are the subjects of the dialog of this novel that mixes sex with drugs, and death with nostalgia. Alfonso , a young journalist, reveals, as in a brilliantly developed film script, the bloody events that occur in a desperate and violent city.
