Absurdist Humor

A la protagonista de esta historia le diagnostican una enfermedad extrañísima y le dan 20% de posibilidades de sobrevivir. ¿Qué decide hacer con los últimos seis meses que le quedan? Escribir una novela. Empieza a planificarla y entiende que para tener material para escribirla necesita vivir nuevas experiencias: probar MDMA, robar, tirarse en parapente y tener sexo sadomasoquista.

Entre desoladores mails a su ex, delirantes reacciones de su familia, una prima que le pide un favor inesperado y reflexiones sobre el feminismo, la trama estalla en un arco narrativo imposible de prever.

El que avisa no es traidor. Advertido quedas.

Hilarious, profound, and achingly true to life, Jonas Karlsson's new novel explores the true nature of happiness through the eyes of a hero you won't soon forget. A passionate film buff, our hero's life revolves around his part-time job at a video store, the company of a few precious friends, and a daily routine that more often than not concludes with pizza and a movie in his treasured, small space in Stockholm.

Was hat es mit dem "malproperen Paket" auf sich, welches beim Einchecken, so gar nicht nach dem Besitztum des "Ästheten" Professor Kaspar Moritz Mauzfies aussehend, bereits in der Doppelkabine auf dem Tisch wartet? Nicht die einzige Überraschung, welche die Schiffspassage auf der "Bocognano" nach Korsika bereithält. Die Reise wird Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts für den Protagonisten zu einem absurd-surreal-psychedelischen Trip...

Tras un proceso de selección en apariencia sencillo, Diego Pirita comienza a trabajar como recepcionista en un hotel de paso.

"'Io non so com'è la gente!' soleva ripetere don Marchino per lo meno una ventina di volte al giorno, insaccandosi nelle spalle e aprendo le mani a ventaglio davanti al petto, con gli angoli della bocca contratti in giù: 'Io non so com'è la gente!'".

"Benedizione" inizia così, con le parole di Don Marchino, parroco di campagna che sembra vivere in un mondo tutto suo, completamente indifferente a tutto quello che lo circonda. Ancora una volta Pirandello ci regala un piccolo grande gioiello, una novella che che ci mette di fronte all'assurdità della vita e della morte.
