Raros como yo

In this book we present a passionate and exciting gallery of rare or cursed writers, from misunderstood geniuses tragically expelled into darkness to completely irrelevant writers, sometimes even crazy and almost wordless tarambantes, who nevertheless hide, among the folds of a life shabby and a tiny work, that "powerful and strange soul" that shocks the dominant sensibility. For Juan Manuel de Prada, cursed is the writer who rebels against the ideological and aesthetic conventions prevailing in his time; and thus he can go so far as to affirm that "cursed today is not the author who takes pleasure in invoking demons, but rather he who dares to pray to the saints; cursed is not the activist of debauchery, but the apostle of temperance; cursed is not the shrill rhapsode of freedom, but the discreet minstrel of tradition".
