“Is there someone close who could help you out?

I no longer have any relatives.

That's to say ?

That is to say that I only have distances left.

Why this book?

  • Because this novel deals with suspense, humor

    and a carefree lightness of a serious and Oedipal subject: killing the father.

  • Because for me the most beautiful pages of this novel

    tell the story of a romantic and sensual encounter that marks a turning point in Diego's life.

  • Because in order not to put on the costume of the "awful capitalist"

    ordered by his father to restructure a company by laying off fifteen employees, Diego will prove to be even more implacable, manipulative and immoral by committing the irreparable in order to save his skin and soul.
