Gonzalo, the protagonist of this novel, a writer who does not exercise but is spend hours in front of a notebook in a coffee table, seeing, perhaps, that inspiration waiting on the sidewalk opposite happens, like life. And also with complex amoral (mild) guilt, fear to love you more than old age. When he finally faces the ideal situation that has always required to write (survival assured for a while, no obligation, and to a beautiful woman willing to stand for a while), Gonzalo finds that ... can not think of any way to worth writing. the prologue
-Salem-
Carlos Fernando González Nohra is a very peculiar writer. His personal style, halfway between the vile and poetry, is a mixture that almost nobody is going to work and that usually ends up tiring the reader to two pages. However, the protagonist of this novel, Gonzalo Fernandez, an aspiring writer despite his writer's block and full-time vital failed, will be able to hold the reader's attention on his life and misadventures of the first to the last page. Scavenger novel is a first-person account in which the cynicism, the sordid, the ridiculous, the poetic and the pathetic are mixed in a compelling and unique cocktail that will entertain, excite and disgust the reader equally.
Unfortunately not being distributed in bookstores, but it can get in between the lines (Entrelíneas Free-bar: C / Gonzalo de Córdoba, No. 3-28010 Madrid) and the publishers Quadrivium. If you have a chance to buy this book, do it. For yourselves, to give to friends and relatives who do not fall away quickly, and for all. I recommend it without hesitation.
