Book Synopsis



Un Madrid a principios de los noventa, convertido en un escenario a la vez preciso y fantasmagórico. Una peripecia detectivesca en la que Muñoz Molina otorga un papel preponderante a un registro irónico que convierte este relato de aventuras y desventuras en una versión actual de Cándido de Voltaire.

La misteriosa desaparición del Santo Cristo de la Greña lleva a Lorenzo Quesada a la capital española, donde se suceden las historias más disparatadas, con los más variopintos personajes y situaciones descabelladas.

La combinación de vibrante creatividad y profunda sensibilidad humana en esta obra confirma a Muñoz Molina como uno de los principales escritores españoles.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A Madrid in the early nineties, transformed into a setting that is both precise and ghostly. A detective adventure in which Muñoz Molina gives prominence to an ironic tone, turning this tale of ups and downs into a modern version of Candide by Voltaire.

The mysterious disappearance of the Santo Cristo de la Greña brings Lorenzo Quesada to the Spanish capital, where the most absurd stories unfold, featuring a wide array of eccentric characters and outrageous situations.

The combination of vibrant creativity and deep human sensitivity in this work confirms Muñoz Molina as one of Spain's leading writers.
