Investido por delincuentes venerados, blindado con ropa de marca, henchido de cadenas de oro el pecho y montado en una moto ajena, el protagonista doma el agravio de que algunos tengan todo y otros, nada. Primogénito de una joven adicta al cine y a la cocaína y de un ciruja, hermano de muchos y nieto de una evangelista devota y del dueño de un aguantadero, César González vindica su linaje.
Urgido por un hechizo vital, grita su réquiem a los amigos. Inmune al feísmo, la condescendencia y los arquetipos, esta novela lujuriosa y austera es a la vez el primerísimo plano de los devastadores años 90. Un wéstern como los de la tele. Uno de balaceras y choques y persecuciones. Uno de policías y ladrones. De heridos y muertos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“A band of arrogant teens sanctioning their own laws. The eyes of our dead friends were watching us at all times. They were protective spirits waiting for a visit. Mountains of offerings to the most immoral god scattered at our feet. A lake filled with paper acid, opened and licked. We slept only as a brief truce in the war against society.”
Endowed by revered delinquents, armored with designer clothes, swelled with golden chains around his neck, and mounted in someone else’s bike, the protagonist tames the grievance of some having everything and others, nothing. Firstborn of a young woman addicted to movies, cocaine, and surgeries, brother to many, and grandchild of a devout evangelist and the owner of a hide-out, César González avenges his lineage.
Urged by a vital spell, cries out his requiem to his friends. Immune to ugliness, condescendence, and archetypes, this lustful and austere novel is all at once the greatest forefront of the devastating nineties. A western like on TV. With shootouts and crashes and chases. With cops and robbers. With wounded and dead.
