The first tells the story of a man called by God to "deflower" eleven thousand virgins in his life, so that heaven's overpopulation problem might be addressed, since the women will have to wait in purgatory for a time. The man then uses his sexual encounters as material for his television commercials and becomes a successful advertising agent. ''Cocinar hombres'' tells the story of two girls who find themselves to have become young adult witches overnight, so as to fly over the earth tempting but not satisfying men. Finally, the third play satirically recounts the conversation between [[Saint Joseph\|Joseph]] and [[Mary, the mother of Jesus\|Mary]] before Mary gives birth to [[Jesus]] and ascends to heaven. ==Awards== * 2019, [[Premio Casa de América de Poesía Americana]] ==Personal life== Line 68 ⟶ 71: ===Books=== * ''El libro de Eve,'' Editorial Alfaguara, México, 2020.
