Rayos / Rays [Spanish]

By Miqui Otero

La aclamada novela de Miqui Otero, considerada la gran novela contempor nea sobre Barcelona, con nuevo pr logo del autor

A los veinticuatro a os, Fidel Centella se va de casa para compartir piso con tres amigos, apodados los Rayos. Es quiz el primer paso recto hacia la adultez, aunque la historia se centra en la desorientaci n de la juventud, as como en todo lo que nos pasa cuando no parece pasar nada, como aventuras m nimas en una vivienda ca tica, corrupciones urbanas, dilemas sentimentales y hasta un conflicto familiar.

Ambientada en una vibrante Barcelona contempor nea (postol mpica y precrisis), por lo que se la bendijo como la nueva gran novela sobre esa ciudad, Rayos invita a reflexionar sobre la dificultad de ser uno mismo, la lucha con la creaci n y la b squeda de referentes s lidos en una cultura de lo fugaz, donde todo transcurre demasiado r pido.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Miqui Otero's acclaimed novel, considered the greatest contemporary novel about Barcelona, with a new prologue by the author.

At twenty-four, Fidel Centella is leaving his family home to share a flat with three of his friends, nicknamed the Rays. It is perhaps the first straightforward step towards adulthood, though this story is centered in the disorientation of youth, as well as everything that happens when nothing seems to happen, like tiny adventures in a chaotic home, urban corruption, emotional dilemmas, and even family conflicts.

Set in a vibrant contemporary Barcelona (post-Olympics and pre-crisis)--reason why it was dubbed the new great novel about this city--Rays invites reflection on the difficulty of becoming oneself, the struggles with creation, and the search for solid references in a fleeing culture where everything happens way too fast.
