El proceso de Roberto Lanza

One afternoon, when Roberto Lanza is about to pick up his five-year-old son at the exit of a school in Madrid, the teacher asks for explanations about a suspicion of pedophilia that has caused something the boy has said. This is the trigger for a hybrid story between a psychological thriller, a social novel and a Kafkaesque plot with a frenetic pace and high narrative tension. The environment judges without evidence and guilt hangs over the protagonist's life, as in The Trial, turning it into a sudden hell where neither love nor friendships are safe territory. In the schoolyard, any comment is a source of paranoia in the complex and atypical psyche of Roberto Lanza. The crossroads that is offered to him leads him down paths of high risk and decisions that almost no one would understand.With a strong emotional charge and written in precise and elaborate language, this is a novel whose plot becomes a pretext to unleash controversy, criticize paradigms accepted as current "values" in the education of children, and establish a profound reflection on marital happiness, sexuality, the relationship between parents and children and individual freedom. What happens when parenting becomes not only a challenge, but also a source of pain, lies and frustration? The process of Roberto Lanza is a story that connects with the existentialist tradition in its most updated version of taboo subjects and complex emotions.
