  • Overview

    «A todos, de alguna manera, el pasado nos agobia y lo almacenamos en una bodega sellada al paso del tiempo. Pero desus grietas se escurre una sustancia viscosa de recuerdos contagiados por el virus del fracaso.»

    ¿Qué sigue cuando ya has hecho todo lo que tocaba hacer con tu vida? Para el protagonista de esta historia, sus días han perdido el brillo. Se debate entre sus achaques marcados por los excesos, el insomnio que le trae delirios y la apatía de un presente que solo le plantea el deseo de destruirse sin prisas. En plena reinvención de sí mismo, para celebrar su cumpleaños número sesenta, emprende un viaje con su novia y unos amigos a Acapulco. En un hotel incrustado en un risco, desde donde se domina la bahía, los recuerdos de su infancia y juventud le llegan en oleadas. Aparecen, entonces, las ásperas vacaciones familiares, la relatoría de los fracasos amorosos, y lugares como el mítico Hotel Flamingos, la guarida de bacanales hollywoodenses, donde tiene lugar un insólito encuentro entre Johnny Weissmüller, el Tarzán más famoso del mundo, Charles Manson y un escritor beat. A medio camino entre las memorias y la ficción noir, esta novela es un alucinante y sorprendente recorrido por lugares olvidados.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    “In one way or another, the past weighs heavily on us all, and we store it away in a sealed cellar as time passes. But from its cracks seeps a viscous substance of memories infected by the virus of failure.”

    What comes next when you've already done everything you needed to do with your life? For the protagonist of this story, his days have lost their luster. He struggles with ailments marked by excess, insomnia that brings him delusions, and the apathy of a present that only offers him the desire to slowly destroy himself. In the midst of reinventing himself, to celebrate his 60th birthday, he embarks on a trip with his girlfriend and some friends to Acapulco. In a hotel nestled on a cliff overlooking the bay, memories of his childhood and youth come flooding back. Then come the rough family vacations, the account of romantic failures, and places like the legendary Hotel Flamingos, the den of Hollywood bacchanals, where an unusual encounter takes place between Johnny Weissmüller, the world's most famous Tarzan, Charles Manson, and a Beat writer. Halfway between memoir and noir fiction, this novel is a mind-blowing and surprising journey through forgotten places.
