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.
