Fets caldo
IX Premi Memorial Agustí Vehí-Vila de Tiana 2022
Figueras, Pere
The protagonist of this story is Avel·lí Baldoví, a psychopath convinced that the world is working against him and who does not hesitate to eliminate anyone who offends his dignity. He is driven by his inner voices, more specifically that of a sly and foul-mouthed iguana who urges him to commit his crimes, despite the fact that he is pursued by both the police, a private detective and a journalist, all of whom are engrossed in different theories that oscillate between egotism, good faith and stupidity. In your hands you have a satirical novel, an acid and perverse critique, a diversion that bleeds a whole host of institutions and values: the police and the law, the church, the family, private business, psychiatry, the journalism... the banality and corruption of which plays to the killer's advantage and allows him to move freely among this rot to achieve his goals.
