Los vencejos
Aramburu, Fernando
Toni, a high school teacher angry at the world, decides to end his life. Meticulous and serene, he has chosen the date: within a year. Until then every night he will write, in the apartment that he shares with his dog Pepa and a library from which he is shedding, a personal chronicle, hard and disbelieving, but no less tender and humorous. With her he hopes to discover the reasons for his radical decision, to reveal every last particle of his intimacy, to tell about his past and the many daily affairs of a politically troubled Spain. They will appear, dissected with an implacable scalpel, his parents, a brother he cannot bear, his ex-wife Amalia, from whom he cannot disconnect, and his troublesome son Nikita; but also his caustic friend Patachula. And an unexpected Águeda. And in the succession of love and family episodes of this addictive human constellation, Toni, a disoriented man determined to recount his ruins, paradoxically breathes an unforgettable life lesson.
