About the Book

RAY LORIGA, GANADOR DEL PREMIO ALFAGUARA, NOVELA LA AMISTAD CUANDO MÁS SE PARECE AL AMOR

«Una escritura depurada, de breves párrafos, que no describe, sino que va, silenciosa como los neumáticos de un automóvil sobre una autopista». -J. A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia

«Loriga pertenece a un selecto grupo de escritores que, como Houellebecq y Murakami, están redefiniendo la ficción del siglo XXI». -Wayne Burrows, The Big Issue

Alguien quiere morir. Ya no es joven, y se pregunta para qué otro día más, por muy privilegiada, divertida y amable que aún sea su vida. Alguien quiere amar. No sabe con certeza si le corresponden, si sus sentimientos serán entendidos, si tiene siquiera derecho a expresarlos. Alguien viaja. Visita ciudades, playas, bares, fiestas exóticas, cabañas al borde del agua donde pasar la noche bebiendo y riendo. Alguien ilustra unos libros preciosos y alguien se ocupa de editarlos. Trabajan sin prisas, con admiración mutua, con cierta sensación decadente de existir en un mundo que desaparece. Alguien ha tenido un grave problema de salud, se levanta despacio, se tienta la ropa y decide aprovechar la segunda oportunidad. Alguien gusta, despierta deseo, está siempre de paso en la vida de los demás, sonríe, paga la cena. Alguien es el mejor amigo y la persona favorita de otro. Alguien quiere morir.

Ray Loriga narra los abismos de estos personajes, y compone una sinfonía sobre la amistad, el amor y el final de la juventud. Una novela en la que se habla de la muerte brindando por la vida. Una novela sobre el verano que aún queda por disfrutar antes de que llegue el invierno.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

RAY LORIGA, ALFAGUARA AWARD WINNER, FICTIONALIZES FRIENDSHIP WHEN IT RESEMBLES LOVE THE MOST.

Someone wants to die. No longer young, that someone wonders why live another day, no matter how privileged, fun, and kind life still is. Someone wants to love. Not knowing for sure if that love is reciprocated, if such feelings will be understood, if there is even a right to express them. Someone travels. Visits cities, beaches, bars, exotic parties, cabins at the edge of the water where to spend the night drinking and laughing. Someone illustrates beautiful books and someone is concerned with publishing them. They work unrushed, with mutual admiration, with certain decadent feeling of existing in a fading world. Someone has had a serious health problem, rises slowly, feels layers of clothing, and decides to seize this second chance. Someone is liked, arouses desire, always passing through other people's lives, smiles, pays for dinner. Someone is someone else's best friend and favorite person. Someone wants to die.
