Nadie se va a reír

In recent years, none of the court cases against freedom of expression has aroused as little social and political support as that of Anónimo García: a strange character who turned deception of the media into a form of artistic expression alongside a group of heterodox and bohemian companions. While the alleged defenders of free creation protested the conviction of rapper Pablo Hasél, Anónimo was also convicted, fired from his job and defamed by the yellow press without anyone deigning to explain the truth and offer a context. The reason? Anonymous had dared to parody the sensationalist treatment of what has been, without a doubt, the most sensitive media episode in recent decades in Spain. In Nobody is going to laugh, Juan Soto Ivars narrates the hilarious adventures of Anónimo and his group, their countless jokes and his particular philosophy, aimed at combating complacency. He thus offers a relentless dissection of the sensationalist circus and a disturbing reflection on the epidemic of propaganda, moralism and literalism that prevents so many people from interpreting certain complex and subtle messages when they are uncomfortable for the dogmas of their tribe.
