With the precision and sensuality of the story, but also with the epic breath of the novel, the three stories that make up this volume are located in that no-holds-barred, surprising and even difficult to limit that Jorge Volpi has baptized as "the average distance ", a unique genre with its own laws, traditions, officiants and enemies."Despite the dark silence", "The game of the apocalypse" and the story that gives title to this book, "Days of wrath", are undoubtedly among the best of the production of its author, proving, with this personal and fascinating way of writing short narrative, which can have both the patience of the novelist and the agility of the story writer, to end by signing "symphonic poems in a single movement", in which resistance and speed go together from the hand.
