ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The latest novel by Pablo Simonetti, an author who "charms the masses" (El Mercurio Newspaper). This is the story of a man who comes face to face with his history, his social class, and his sexuality.

"On that sofa, one of the men I was never able to become, was left bare, unsettled, and lifeless."

Through a series of encounters with people who were part of his past, the narrator in The Men I Was Never Able to Become confronts his memory, his past decisions, and the paths his life has taken, giving way to a portrait of indoctrinated rules that could become deadly. With an enlightening look, combining melancholy and liberation, Pablo Simonetti writes about the possible lives that we abandoned with each one of our life decisions; about belonging and exclusion; set against the background of a burning Santiago de Chile that will allow the protagonist to leave the past behind where it belongs.

"The scenes sting because they are full of truth, sadness, and pain." --Alberto Fuguet

"Simonetti gathers words masterfully: where there was silence and drought, the most moving flowers now sprout." --Jaime Bayly
