Galardonado con el Premi Ciutat de Barcelona, 2019Un viaje espectral entre la vida y la muerte, entre el amor y su prdida en este impresionante debut de Mateo Garca ElizondoVine a Zapotal para morirme de una buena vez. En cuanto puse un pie en el pueblo me deshice de lo que traa en los bolsillos, de las llaves de la casa que dej abandonada en la ciudad, y de todo el plstico, todo lo que tena mi nombre o la fotografa de mi rostro. No me quedan ms que tres mil pesos, doscientos gramos de goma de opio y un cuarto de onza de herona, y con esto me tiene que alcanzar para matarme. El protagonista y narrador de esta novela va en busca de la cita definitiva con la lady en forma de polvo blanco, y para ello emprende un viaje al final de la noche en el que se sucedern encuentros con personajes inquietantes, con los fantasmas de los amigos muertos por el camino, con los recuerdos de la gran ciudad que ha dejado atrs y con su propio pasado.La primera frase de la novela evoca el mtico inicio del Pedro Pramo de Rulfo, y hay en sus pginas ecos del grotesco carnaval mexicano de autodestruccin de Bajo el volcn de Malcolm Lowry. Con una prosa envolvente e hipntica, Mateo Garca Elizondo narra, en este asombroso y extraordinario debut, un viaje al corazn de las tinieblas, el espectral descenso a los infiernos de un adicto que se adentra en una senda con un nico destino posible, que est cada vez ms cerca.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONWinner of the 2019 Premi Ciutat de Barcelona.A haunting journey between life and death, between love and loss in this notable debut novel by Mateo Garca ElizondoI came to Zapotal to die once and for all.
