La Vida a Ratos / Life at Times [Spanish]

By Juan José Millás

Vuelve el ingenio de Mill s con el diario divertido y surrealista de un neur tico brillante.

En La vida a ratos el lector es tan protagonista como el narrador, porque descubre en secreto un relato que, en la ficci n, no ha sido creado para ser conocido por nadie m s que aquel que lo escribe.

Es el diario de m s de tres a os de vida de un personaje -curiosamente tambi n llamado Juan Jos Mill s-, que se muestra tan libre, tan neur tico, y divertido, e ir nico e hipocondriaco como solo nos mostramos cuando nadie nos ve. Las visitas a la psicoanalista, el taller de escritura, los paseos por una ciudad que no deja de colocarle ante situaciones sorpresivas, la familia, los amigos... Todo es normal, todo parece anodino hasta que, al volver una esquina de la realidad, aparece lo extraordinario, lo surrealista. Y nos deslumbra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mill s's wit returns in this amusing and surreal diary of a brilliant neurotic.

In Life, from Time to Time, the reader is just as much a protagonist as the narrator, discovering in secret a story that, within the fiction, was never meant to be known by anyone other than the one who writes it.

It is the diary of more than three years in the life of a character--curiously also named Juan Jos Mill s--who appears as free, as neurotic, and as funny, ironic, and hypochondriacal as we allow ourselves to be only when no one is watching. Visits to the psychoanalyst, a writing workshop, walks through a city that constantly places him in unexpected situations, family, friends... Everything is ordinary, everything seems banal, until, upon turning a corner of reality, the extraordinary and the surreal suddenly appear. And they dazzle us.
