Such a passion for anything
Julio Llamazares
Alfaguara ISBN 9788420407043
This collection of stories includes the most I've written in years. At a time like this in the windows of the bookstores are full of self-help books and novels for entertainment, the title perhaps surprising, but it does honor to its content. And my tradition Nihilist: "In the middle of nowhere", "In Bahia", "The river of forgetfulness," "Nobody listens ...
A football player facing the most important moment of his career, an old Neapolitan who rediscovers the love of his youth before his death, a poor man who wants to stop the world, a driver who disappears, a woman who discovers the great secret of its existence when it is too late ...
The main characters in these stories are very colorful, but all share the same strange sentence, realizing that life is a useless passion.
A passion that part the art of writing and narrating, which is linked to reading and thinking, and allows us to continue living even though we know its uselessness.
