Una novela que borra los límites entre la realidad y el delirio

« Qué pasaría si al servir la carne alguien encontrara en su plato un hombrecillo? Lo apartaría educadamente, sin decir nada, o lo señalaría con espanto? .

Un profesor universitario jubilado, instalado en una existencia aparentemente gris y anodina gobernada por rígidas normas autoimpuestas y dividida entre la cotidianidad familiar y sus últimos compromisos profesionales, ve alterada su vida por la aparición de unos hombrecillos diminutos, diseñados a imagen y semejanza de los humanos. Tan solo él es capaz de percibirlos, de atravesar las fronteras de la realidad tal y como la conocemos para entrar en esa otra en la que habitan estos seres.

Uno de esos hombrecillos, creado a partir de su propia sangre y su propia carne, se presenta como su pequeño doble maléfico y le hace una oferta difícil de rechazar: poder cumplir a través de él, en esa otra dimensión de cuya existencia nadie más tiene noticia, sus deseos más ocultos, cualquier perversión escondida desde siempre en su mente. Y es en ese momento cuando todo empieza a desmoronarse.

Esta novela desinhibida y divertida es un alegato en defensa de la imaginación con el que Juan José Millás abre una grieta en la realidad para alumbrar otro mundo en el que todos los sueños se vuelven posibles.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A novel that erases the boundaries between reality and delusion.

"What would happen if, upon serving meat, someone would find a little man on their plate? Would they politely shove him away without a word, or would they point at him in terror?"

A retired college professor settled into an apparently gray and unremarkable existence, governed by strict self-imposed rules, and torn between his daily family routine and his latest professional commitments, sees his life altered by the appearance of minuscule little men designed in the image and likeness of humans. Only he can sense them; he can also cross the boundaries of reality and go into the dimension these beings inhabit.

One of the little men, created out of his own flesh and blood, presents himself as his tiny evil double and makes him an offer hard to refuse: to fulfill through him, in that other dimension unheard of to all others, his darkest desires, any perversions hidden in his mind since the beginning. And it is then everything begins to fall apart.

This disinhibited and amusing novel is an argument defending the imagination. Juan José Millás opens a crack in reality to illuminate a different world where all dreams become possible.
