Diario de un viejo cabezota

Reus, southern Catalonia, summer 2066. For geostrategic reasons, the Iberian Peninsula is being evicted, but a small group of resistance, mostly elderly and mutilated from war, lives entrenched within the walls of the Institut Pere Mata, a former modernist asylum of the city, without electricity, nor water, nor supplies. Among them, an old writer who has not written for decades begins to write a diary on the courtesy sheets of the moth-eaten books he finds in the institution's abandoned library. The authorities have decreed a deadline to leave the territory: there is hardly anyone left in the country and those who remain are desperate. In this story of dystopian and apocalyptic overtones, Pablo Martín Sánchez once again travels through the ambiguous margins that separate reality and fiction, and concludes his particular novel trilogy by looking into the future to capture the fears of the present.
