Una genial cr tica social, hilvanada en un lenguaje l cido y brillante «Juan Jos Mill s es due o de un territorio fant stico de incuestionable personalidad . --J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Pa s «La realidad debe ser otra cosa, a lo mejor otra cosa peor, m s mala, algo atroz, en fin, como la respiraci n un poco ag nica del hombre invisible que tambi n soy yo . Un alto ejecutivo se queda en paro y decide rehacer su vida al margen de todo lo que le rodea, contando con su imaginaci n como nica aliada. A partir de ah , y desde el mayor de los sarcasmos, vivir como una aventura fant stica cualquier hecho cotidiano. El protagonista crea un mundo propio, unas veces siendo l mismo, otras haci ndose pasar por otro. Otro que act a con la insolencia y el respaldo de la locura m s cuerda. Un apasionante juego de encuentros y desencuentros con el amor, la soledad, el sexo, la amistad..., con la vida y la muerte, en definitiva. Mucho m s que una novela, Tonto, muerto, bastardo e invisible es tambi n una cr tica a nuestra sociedad, hilvanada con un lenguaje l cido y brillante. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA biting social critique, brilliantly and lucidly crafted. "Juan Jos Mill s is the master of a fantastical and highly personal universe."-J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El Pa s "Reality must be something else, maybe something worse, more evil and monstruous; in sum, like the raspy breathing of the invisible man I also am." A senior executive is fired from his job and decides to reinvent himself, with imagination as his only guide. From then on, and with infinite sarcasm, he approaches every mundane fact of life as if it were a fantastic adventure. The protagonist of Mill s's novel creates his own world, inhabiting it sometimes as himself and sometimes in the guise of other personas who behave with the insolence and conviction born of the most well-reasoned insanity. A dizzying tale of encounters and disenchantment with love, solitude, sex, friendship, life and, definitely, death. Much more than a novel, Foolish, Dead, Bastard, and Invisible is also a brilliantly and lucidly crafted socialcritique.
