ENGLISH DESCRIPTION JUAN JOS MILL S' LATEST NOVEL.
A story about imagination and the transformative power of literature.
"So as not to make him feel uncomfortable, let's pretend Mill s isn't one of our best writers." --Sergi P mies, La Vanguardia
"Juan Jos Mill s owns a fantastic realm of an indisputable personality." --J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Pa s
"And is the imaginary real? Of course, what else." On his eighteenth birthday, Carlos receives a strange gift: news about his father's death, whom he never met, but has left him a house and everything in it, along with an unknown life he can now peer into. Going through the remnants of this abruptly interrupted existence, Carlos finds a manuscript narrating a story about secret lovers, about a girl and a butterfly, about friendship and death. Is this a real confession, or a work of fiction? Carlos, about to begin his studies in Business Administration and Management, realizes his father was an avid reader. Next to the bed in his room, in a house he is gradually making his own, Carlos finds a book that hooks him: the tales of the brothers Grimm. The young man immerses himself in those stories and eventually kickstarts a vital process that drives him ever closer to his father, showing him a way to walk on those invisible boundaries between fantasy and the sanity of madness. In this misleadingly light novel, Juan Jos Mill s returns to some of the most representative themes in his narrative, such as identity, unfolding, the darkest nooks in everyday reality--where the extraordinary is hidden--and paternity, all at once composing a hymn to the imagination and the transformative power of literature.
