About the Book

«No quería terminar esta novela. Sabía que mientras leyera esos personajes seguirían conmigo, que tendrían alguna oportunidad. Pero al acabarla me di cuenta de que seguían ahí, al otro lado de la ventana, y que también me estaban observando. Me ha emocionado mucho.» -ZAHARA

«Toda nuestra existencia de personajillos de ciudad se podría condensar en cualquiera de los cuadros de Hopper. El miedo, la esperanza, el vacío y esa continua necesidad de que pase algo que lo cambie todo. Son como ventanas en la noche en las que asomarme a otras vidas que al final también son las nuestras.»

Pablo llega a Madrid para empezar de cero y cumplir su sueño de ser actor. Siguiendo esa continua necesidad de que pase cualquier cosa que lo cambie todo, se convierte en un «desgastaaceras» de tanto patear la ciudad y relacionarse con la extraña fauna que la puebla. Dos personajes serán decisivos para su futuro: Elia, una segurata del museo Thyssen, fascinada por el pintor americano Edward Hopper, y... el fantasma de Pío Baroja.

Con su primera novela, Carlos Langa se presenta como un autor cargado de talento e inteligencia. Melancólica, cómica y emotiva a partes iguales, ha escrito una original obra para todo aquel que disfruta con la buena literatura y las historias de amor diferentes. Como después de mirar un cuadro de Hopper, el lector no volverá a ver la ciudad y a sus habitantes de la misma forma tras leer esta obra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

'I didn't want to finish this novel. I knew that as long as I read, those characters would stay with me, that they would have a chance. But when I finished it I realized that they were still there, on the other side of the window, and that they were also watching me. I was very excited.' -ZAHARA

'Our entire existence as little city characters could be condensed into any one of Hopper's paintings. The fear, the hope, the emptiness and that continuous need for something to happen that changes everything. They are like windows in the night where I can look out into other lives that are also ours in the end.'

Pablo arrives in Madrid to start from scratch and fulfill his dream of being an actor. Following this continual need for anything to happen that changes everything, he becomes a sidewalk buster from so much kicking around the city and interacting with the strange fauna that populates it. Two characters will be decisive for his future: Elia, a security guard at the Thyssen museum, fascinated by the American painter Edward Hopper, and... the ghost of Pío Baroja.

With his first novel, Carlos Langa presents himself as an author full of talent and intelligence. Melancholic, funny, and emotional in equal measure, he has written an original work for anyone who enjoys good literature and different love stories. Just as you do after looking at a painting by Hopper, the reader will never see the city and its inhabitants in the same way after reading this work.
About the Author: Carlos Langa (Barcelona, 1977) es guionista. En televisión, ha trabajado, entre otros programas, en Likes, El Cielo puede esperar, El Condensador de Fluzo y La Noche D. Ha sido colaborador de Carne Cruda, Ilustres Ignorantes y Hoy por Hoy en la Cadena SER. En prensa, ha escrito en la web de GQ, en Líopardo y Tentaciones. Además, dirigió y presentó el programa de humor Lo del Floox Show (Flooxer).

Ha triunfado en Instagram con su serie de pinturas de Edward Hopper a las que añade sus propios diálogos y que han inspirado su primera novela, La vida es un cuadro de Hopper.
