| Resumen: |
Pablo 'Baloo' Miralles, an overweight, inept thirty-year-old reprobate and the black sheep of the family, reluctantly gives up his life of leisure to investigate a suspicious organisation.
While Pablo is a renowned internet philosopher and dedicated hedonist, his brother, 'The First', is president of the prosperous family business. But having strong-armed Pablo into action, The First suddenly disappears and his irreverent brother begins a hair-raising, mind-bending adventure: racing around in a black sportscar, getting into scrapes with venereal infections and web pages with dubious content... before locating an invisible citadel in the heart of Barcelona.
This easy-riding, ball-busting comedy of bad manners is one of the most surprising and entertaining literary debuts of recent years, with Tusset revealing himself to be a hugely talented and hilarious satirist. |
