Terenci Moix died on 2rd April this year at the age of 61, leaving behind a great body of work. Seix Barral has just published Cuentos completos, which brings together the short stories of La torre de los vicios capitales -V�ctor Catal� Prize in 1968 -, Asesinar con el amor (1979) and La ca�da del imperio sodomita y otras historias herejes (1976).
