About the Book

«Detrás de cada game over, siempre hay otro play again

Esta es la historia de una gran amistad. Tanto Rubén (el Ruby) como Lamberto (el Roxy) son íntimos amigos de lo ajeno y tienen mucha prisa por devorarse la Ciudad de México al ritmo de The Clash. Corren los años ochenta. No hay teléfonos móviles, cámaras en las calles ni mensajes de texto. El mundo es hoy tan libre que no faltan los crápulas ansiosos de torcerlo para su provecho. Y en tal medida abunda el bandidaje que confiar en tu sombra es un riesgo que puede salir caro.

Los años sabandijas atraviesa la década de punta a punta, entre todo un elenco de pícaros, beldades, matones, desnudistas, herederos, travestis, vedettes, raterillos, socialités, devotos y forajidos financieros: la fauna citadina que recorre estas páginas al modo de una huida desenfrenada, con la avidez a cuestas y el botín en el aire. Una novela plena de adrenalina, vértigo y malandrinaje, donde el alma más pura enseña el cobre y cada nuevo día insiste en ser el menos pensado.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"After every game over there is always another play again."

This is the story of a great friendship. Both Rubén (Ruby) and Lamberto (Roxy) are extremely fond of other people's belongings and can't wait to devour Mexico City to the rhythm of The Clash. It is the eighties. There are no mobile phones, no street cameras or text messages. The world today is so free, that there is no shortage of scoundrels eager to bend it to their advantage. And banditry abounds to such an extent, that trusting your own shadow is a risk that could cost you dearly.

The Scoundrel Years goes through the entire decade from beginning to end, among a full array of rascals, beauties, thugs, strippers, heirs, transvestites, vedettes, petty thieves, socialites, worshipers, and financial outlaws--the city fauna that runs along these pages in the manner of a rampant escape, greed on their shoulders and loot in the air. An adrenaline-packed novel, full of vertigo and wickedness, where the purest soul shows its true colors and each new day insists on bringing the least expected.
About the Author: Xavier Velasco natural de la Ciudad de México, hijo bastardo del Boom Latinoamericano y David Bowie, amante compulsivo de la velocidad, amigo natural de la especie perruna. Renunció a tiempo al ensueño grotesco de hacerse presidente de la República, entre otras intentonas fracasadas por eludir la quimera temprana de hacerse novelista. A despecho de tantos despropósitos, ha publicado las novelas DiabloGuardián(Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2003), Puedo explicarlo todo(Alfaguara, 2010), Losañossabandijas(Alfaguara, 2022) y las autobiográficas Éste que ves(Alfaguara, 2007) yLa edad de la punzada(Alfaguara, 2012); los relatos de El materialismo histérico(Alfaguara, 2004), el volumen de crónicas noctámbulas Luna llena en las rocas(Alfaguara, 2005) y el epistolario Entrega insensata. Cree, con Jules Michelet y Carlos Fuentes, que "los dioses son como los hombres: nacen y mueren sobre el pecho de una mujer".
