About the Book

«¿Era yo el que tenía que hacerte feliz? ¿Eso esperabas de mí? ¿Eso es lo que alguien puede esperar del otro? ¿Tan poco?»

Mike es un joven estudiante y artista, enfermizo, cobarde e indeciso. Junto a Mía, se encuentra imbuido en un huracán propio de un amor torpe poblado de películas francesas y canciones de Pearl Jam. Una huelga universitaria los encamina a luchar por un mundo mejor y en su empeño por terminar de raíz con las injusticias del pasado y visibilizar y castigar a los ideólogos salvajes de las últimas dictaduras, Mike se sorprende a sí mismo al darse cuenta de que la vida lo ha rebasado.

Al otro lado del espejo está Eugenio, un genocida impune, que con su enfermedad y la Historia a cuestas encuentra en la vitalidad de la juventud una esperanza ante la muerte. Ni él ni Mía, ni su hermano en prisión, evitan que el protagonista de esta novela -una novela con un pie en la historia política y otro en la nostalgia- desafíe el presente obnubilado y descubra aquello que escribió el poeta: "que la vida iba en serio".

Así la vida de Mike: con un escrache. Con un arte falsificado y auténtico a la vez. Con un par de mortales escopetazos en la conciencia. Con las ganas de caminar hacia las olas y nadar hacia el horizonte o hacia la muerte. Quizás sean una y la misma cosa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Was I the one who had to make you happy? Is that what you expected from me? Is that what people should expect from each other? So little?

Mike is a young student and artist; he is sickly, weak, and indecisive. With Mia he finds himself submerged in the storm of a clumsy love filled with French films and Pearl Jam songs. A university strike leads them to start fighting for a better world. In their determination to root out past injustices, shed a light and punish the savage ideologies of past dictators, Mike surprisingly realizes that life has left him behind.

Then there is Eugenio, an unpunished genocide, who with the vigor of a young person finds hope when facing death. Neither he nor Mia, nor his brother in prison, prevent the protagonist of this novel - a novel filled with political history and nostalgia - from challenging a complicated present and discovering what the poet wrote: that life was real and not a dress rehearsal.
