About me - Jose Astorga

aboutme

I learned that I like to write when I was around forty years old or young (point of view). As a result, I self published "A Bull in a Glass House" (abullinaglasshouse.com).

Occasionally, a fissure appears on the black walls of my cell and a glimmer of light shines through. I quickly glance at the vague shadow of my existence and it disappears ...
