The Crack Jedi
by Adrián Román
Description
Literature and stone are alike because both are dosed pleasure and suffering: a target shot practiced by chance. As in the cosmos with physical bodies, letters are attracted by gravity and coexist in the chaos and disorder that some optimists describe as universal harmony. The writer, chronicler and connoisseur of the vagabond worlds, Adrián Román, narrates La Piedra de las galaxias, the borders of a destroyed space full of life. It is a vagabond alphabet that takes us through Mexico City and the lives of some of its darkest and brightest characters.

Reviews
"In Román's writing one reads gonzo journalism, but without the stubborn vanity of posing himself as the hero of the forgotten marginal suburbs of urban progress": Wenceslao Bruciaga
"It is good to know that, from time to time, a writer born of literary necessity and gravity appears:" Guillermo Fadanelli.
“His books are valuable documents that record the decomposition of the social tissue of these days that we are forced to live (…) Nightlife, excesses, social invalids are his themes, but also sports. In times when prejudice is the norm, the work of an author like Adrián Román is a respite. Living in the middle of pretty much academic literature, something like this literature is necessary to challenge moral fascism in writing”: Carlos Velázquez
