Hay un monstruo en el lago
In 1933, a Scottish couple claims to see a huge creature emerging from the surface of Loch Ness, and the news of the sighting becomes a media phenomenon and an unbeatable tourist attraction.
Almost a hundred years later, Laura Fernández navigates the greenish waters of the loch in the footsteps of Nessie or what remains of a legend that has been closing in on itself. Among plesiosaurs, monster hunters, reporters, fake news and a pair of soldier dolphins, the story of the writer’s journey to the Highlands is the chronicle and personal rewriting of this popular story, but also a reflection in pure Fernández style on the act of imagining, believing and creating reality, on the fine line between fiction and reality, and on the monstrous and the elusive as keys that open the floodgates to the many worlds that make up a world, Nessie reminds us, mysteriously fantastic.
