Desengánese. The best book of the year is not the one we propose today on these pages after careful analysis and a vote to help them choose. But what were we thinking, enlightened panda. Déjense of Javier Cercas, Arundhati Roy or Samanta Schweblin and have a little patience. The best book of the year is the one that remains to be written and that Leire Díez promises us, who has done everything he has done because she is a born researcher, in action, who advances with enthusiasm towards a bestseller that this Christmas did not arrive in time in the librerías, but it has already been judged. Lacking a support writer, juices help him and he does it on every machine.
This book obviously does not reach the literary heights of a Nobel Prize, but it has everything to please. The soap opera begins on a cold winter night in Extremadura, where a candidate mourns the inheritance because he lost the elections. He knew he was doomed because he was being prosecuted by a judge, because he had separated several companions for relief and committed other wars, but he had to play the role of an adalid of the Sanchista trench in front of the fango of the derechista and now he had to hold out for the guy.
The intrigue is served: why was it present in reality, why was this resistance in the territory of failure? Why does the ruling party confront the electoral cycle with the losers, one after the other? We will keep the suspense.
And we keep it because, from there, the intrigues and subplots become more and more exciting. Each takes place in different scenarios and seems understated, but suddenly certain elements emerge to make it happen. A certain Cerdán who seemed to belong to one of the first plots suddenly appears next through his friend and partner from Navarre. SEPI also charges gloss in some and others. And the author knows what she’s saying, because she embodies some of them herself. For now.
The speed of it thriller Don’t fall there. At the same time, several men from the ruling party are accused of sexual harassment. The inaction is so serious that the trenches are retreating into denial. And Isabel Díaz Ayuso herself, called to be the villain of this book, begins to collect victories because the protagonists, those who seem good, are on the canvas.
We won’t do it spoilerthe ending is open. But you know that sometimes they barely win. And zombies were trustworthy people until they bit. Or the bite.
