Odd existences : in the chaos of life

Renowned storytellers, especially those with verbal precision and stylistic clarity, move effortlessly between the personally experienced and the boldly imaginative. Readers and listeners are invited into the chaotic, unfiltered diversity of life. In eighteen short stories, Hector Glubo explores the inner possibilities and outer limitations of existence. Odd Existences emphasizes each individual's search for meaning. This search can lead to belief in a higher power and spiritual convictions—or toward disbelief and existential doubt. Odd Existences reflects on the relationship between individual freedom and societal structures. Hector knows that existence precedes essence, and in finely tuned stories he reveals both the undiscovered potential and the external constraints of being. Existence is synonymous with the fact that human beings simply are. Essence—what a person becomes—is not predetermined; it is shaped over time. Hector does not shy away from addressing the conditions of existence, recognizing that we are always in the process of creating who we are through our choices and actions as our lives unfold. Every human being remains a mystery—impossible to solve, and impossible to fully describe. Hector Glubo’s engagement with contemporary existential questions is as strong and invigorating as freshly brewed espresso, with an inviting crema rich in flavor, texture, and aroma.
