No le des más whisky a la perrita

Journalists Jesús Úbeda and Julio Valdeón, one in Madrid and the other in New York, receive a commission: to write a biography of Raúl del Pozo, a living myth of journalism and literature. It so happens that he refuses to tell his life because he hates the genre: "The best biographies were made by Plutarch in the 1st century; those afterwards are mediocre." The solution is to betray the biographer by interviewing him and many who know him. Thus, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, José María García, Jesús Quintero, Manuel Vicent, Carmen Rigalt, Javier Rioyo, Federico Jiménez Losantos, Antonio Lucas and Antonio Casado, among others, add their voices to polish an ecstatic, radiant and blasphemous portrait of one of the men who has best written and described Spain and the Spanish. Raúl del Pozo, who was born the same day that Ava Gadner and Jesuscristo, reporter, correspondent, columnist, has hooked several generations of readers with his fierce prose and will surprise again this time with adventures, anecdotes and episodes as unknown as they are unusual.
