Caníbal sin dientes

Mr. Roguera, a renowned writer in a self-induced decline, receives a letter from an impertinent admirer: an aspiring writer who works as a postal worker who has sent him, along with the letter, what appears to be a manuscript. The letter, which turns out to be surprising at first, then close, until it becomes twistedly intimate, will put before the eyes of the consecrated novelist the futility of his trade ("How does a book resist everything that a reader pours on it? How does In turn, does an author resist everything that a book contains? Is it possible to escape unscathed? Or is it natural, logical and even desirable, that one ends up becoming a victim of his work?"), his moral miseries and his most unconfessed fears. Through superimposed shots, Toothless Cannibal dissects the three-way relationship established between the obsessive aspirant, the successful novelist -opposite sides of the same coin- and the latter's secretary, Mrs. M., who will be the bridge that allows one to reach the other and consummate their plans. With the pulse of a thriller, Mazarrasa builds a sharp and absorbing reflection on the limits and price of literary ambition.
