En los años 90 Jordi Sierra i Fabra escribió una trilogía formada por tres novelas independientes para hablar de las relaciones humanas. Cada una de ellas presentaba el mismo esquema: seis personajes interactuando entre ellos, pero con voz y pensamientos propios intercalados en primera persona. De las tres solo se editó (con gran éxito) la primera: "Los espejos de la noche" (Amigos). El cierre de la editorial impidió la aparición de "Los vacíos de la soledad" (Desconocidos) y "Aguas azules para una batalla" (Familia), que ahora recuperamos 25 años después.

Asfissiamo all'interno di dubbi infernali, crocifissi nel cuore, sperando forse in maniera utopistica di riconciliarci lestamente con la nostra natura umana più bella e paradisiaca, augurandoci di fare di nuovo all'amore con una donna pura... Mentre, nel capoluogo felsineo e nel mondo intero, a briglia sciolta si propaga infermabile una tenebrosa malattia oscura di pandemica natura sulfurea, nei dintorni dell'asfittica e nera, delittuosa e omertosa Bologna insanguinata nella sua più innocente e profonda anima oramai infranta e corrotta.
