About the Book

Un debut extraordinario sobre las promesas incumplidas de la «generación más preparada de la historia».

«La Edad de Tiza es la historia reciente de España vista desde el patio de colegio segregado y las urbanizaciones sin pasado pero sin futuro [...]. Una novela de formación trágica y tremendamente cómica que es, al mismo tiempo, una espléndida historia de detectives y fantasmas». -Patricio Pron

«Ahora que la vida me ha arrojado como un náufrago a las costas de mi infancia...»

Álvaro ha cumplido ya los treinta cuando un revés laboral lo devuelve a la casa familiar: allí sigue viviendo su madre y permanecen también, a modo de fantasmas, las promesas de prosperidad de su adolescencia. Sin mucho más que hacer, se propone desentrañar un viejo misterio que empezó cuando él tenía catorce años: la desaparición de una cinta de vídeo sobre educación sexual que les pusieron en clase y que dio pie a otros acontecimientos igualmente inexplicables.

Entre recuerdos dudosos, volvemos con Álvaro al año 1991, a un colegio masculino y concertado en el que se habla de la España del futuro, donde las chicas están a años luz de distancia, los padres y los hijos son incapaces de comunicarse, y madurar significa dejar de hacer preguntas.

La Edad de Tiza es una gran novela de crecimiento disfrazada de novela de intriga: el relato de «la generación más preparada de la historia», de las expectativas y las promesas que vivieron a fondo losboomers y se desvanecieron para los millenials .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An extraordinary debut about the broken promises of the most prepared generation in history.

"The Chalk Age is the recent history of Spain seen from the segregated schoolyard and the urbanizations without a past but without a future [...]. A highly comic and tragic coming-of-age novel that is, at the same time, a splendid detective and ghost story. -Patricio Pron

"Now that life has thrown me like a castaway on the shores of my childhood..."

Álvaro has already turned thirty when a work setback returns him to the family home: his mother continues to live there and the promises of prosperity of his adolescence also remain, like ghosts. Without much else to do, he sets out to unravel an old mystery that began when he was fourteen years old: the disappearance of a videotape on sex education that was shown for them in class and which led to other equally inexplicable events.

Among dubious memories, we return with Álvaro to the year 1991, to an all-male, concerted school in which they talk about the Spain of the future, where girls are light years away, parents and children are unable to communicate with each other, and growing up means to stop asking questions.

The Chalk Age is a great coming-of-age novel disguised as a novel of intrigue: the tale of "the most prepared generation in history," of the expectations and promises that the boomers lived through and which faded for the millennials.
