About the Book

«Una de las novelas más fantásticas y divertidas, al mismo tiempo enraizadas en lo que nos afecta como ciudadanos, que he leído» --AGUSTÍN FERNÁNDEZ MALLO

Manuel acuchilla a un policía antidisturbios que quería pegarle. Huye. Se esconde en una aldea abandonada. Sobrevive de libros Austral, vegetales de los alrededores, una pequeña compra en el Lidl que le envía su tío. Y se da cuenta de que cuanto menos tiene, menos necesita.

Un thriller estático, una versión de Robinson Crusoe ambientada en la España vacía, una redefinición del concepto «austeridad». Una historia que nos hace plantearnos si los únicos sanos son los que saben que esta sociedad está enferma. Santiago Lorenzo ha escrito su novela más rabiosamente política, lírica y hermosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"One of the most fantastic and fun novels that I have read, while at the same time rooted in what affects us as citizens of the world." --AGUSTÍN FERNÁNDEZ MALLO

Manuel stabs a riot police officer who wanted to hit him. He runs away. He hides in an abandoned village. He survives on Austral books, vegetables from the surrounding area, and on a small supermarket purchase that his uncle sends him. He soon realizes that the less he has, the less he needs.

A static thriller, a version of Robinson Crusoe set in Spain, a redefinition of the concept of "austerity." A story that makes us wonder if the only sane ones are those who know that this society is sick. Santiago Lorenzo has written his most gut-retching political, lyrical, and beautiful novel.
About the Author: SANTIAGO LORENZO (Portugalete, Vizcaya 1964) después de una extensa carrera en el cine, publicó en 2010 la novela Los millones (Mondo Brutto), uno de los libros del año con un gancho cómico y un golpe más bien trágico: a uno del GRAPO le toca la lotería primitiva; no puede cobrar el premio porque carece de DNI. Desde entonces, ha escrito Los Huerfanitos, se ha deleitado con ábsides de catedrales y ha continuado atacando los vicios de la sociedad de la única forma posible: con la risa, el recurso de los hombres que gozan de una inteligencia libre de presunción. Su mayor temor continúa siendo caerse a la ría desde lo alto del puente colgante de Portugalete, patrimonio de la Humanidad desde 2006.
