El nuevo libro del autor de El desbarrancadero, Premio FIL de Literatura y Premio R???mulo Gallegos ???Su ira explosiva es tan brillante, tan sonora, real, sincera, divertida a veces, cruel casi siempre, que su lectura es algo gozoso y tonificante???. --Pedro Almod???var En Escombros, libro que entronca directamente con una de las obras m???s emblem???ticas y reconocidas del autor, El desbarrancadero, Fernando Vallejo narra la llegada de la noche del mundo, ese tiempo que va desde la agon???a de su compa???ero, el escen???grafo mexicano David Ant???n --que coincide con el terremoto que asol??? Ciudad de M???xico en 2018-- y su muerte, y el momento actual, marcado por una pandemia que mantiene en vilo a todo el planeta. La historia personal del autor, la p???rdida de su compa???ero de vida de m???s de cincuenta a???os y su vuelta a Colombia sirven de met???fora de la actualidad, un mundo en destrucci???n en el que el narrador camina por una ciudad en la que ya solo puede ver fantasmas. ???Desde Cicer???n, e incluy???ndolo a ???l, los viejos no han logrado decir nada definitivo sobre la vejez. No logran contarla. Acaso porque hace parte de ella el cansancio. El verdadero viejo, digamos uno de cien, est??? tan cansado que lo ???nico que quiere es descansar y no hacerle favores a nadie explic???ndole cosas. En Escombros no. El viejo maldiciente de este libro estar??? loco, pero lo que dice me deja maravillado. En todo tiene la raz???n. Le estoy muy agradecido por su escombrera, se me hace una suma de sabidur???a, me disipa muchas incertidumbres, ya s??? lo que me espera cuando envejezca, la recomiendo ampliamente???. --Margarito Ledesma ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The new book by the author of El desbarrancadero / The Edge of the Abyss , winner of the Guadalajara Book Fair Prize for Literature, and the R???mulo Gallegos Prize "His explosive anger is so bright, so sonorous, real, sincere, funny at times, cruel almost always, that reading it is something joyful and invigorating." --Pedro Almodovar In Rubble , a book that connects directly with one of the most emblematic and recognized works of the author, El desbarrancadero / The Edge of the Abyss , Fernando Vallejo narrates the arrival of night in the world, that time that goes from his partner's agony, the Mexican set designer David Ant???n which coincides with the earthquake that struck Mexico City in 2018 and his death, and the current moment, marked by a pandemic that keeps the entire planet in suspense. The author's personal story, the loss of his life partner of more than fifty years, and his return to Colombia serve as a metaphor for today, a world in destruction in which the narrator walks through a city where he can only see ghosts.
