In Gooseberry, the first chapter, A Nation of the Hairless is the story of a person who was convinced of the atrophy of civilization once he saw the presence of a single hair growing from his body. Based on this fable-like story, the work explores issues that involve the relationships between animals, human beings, and evolution. The second chapter, Edibles is a story of beings who find themselves interlaced in a relationship that does not allow horizontal coexistence.
