Cómo dejar de escribir
A cult author, a misplaced manuscript, a son losing his way during a summer in Madrid: humour, atmosphere and strangeness meet in the confirmation of the talent this joyfully eccentric literary voice.
Renfo, the apocryphal son of Gran Ronaldo, the legendary South American writer, wanders through Madrid in search of a lost manuscript by his father. Accompanied by Curto, an ex-convict friend, and Vips, an unemployed youth, they travel the city during a torrid summer, surrounded by posh girls, stolen cars, parties, humorous psychopaths, tacky waiters and bars that never close. Like an ironic and hallucinatory Selfie, Cómo dejar de escribir shows us the B-side of the literary world from the perspective of someone who doesn’t really belong to it. A novel about the hidden face of Madrid and about people who don’t really know what they want. A novel about how to stop doing nothing, and start doing everything. About how to stop writing, and start fighting.
