Fiction
The last spree
by José Ángel Mañas
Description
They were in their early twenties then: a group of friends who met at the Kronen bar and consumed their youth on the basis of sex, alcohol and drugs. On some occasions they flirted with death and some came out badly from that flirting. A lot of time has passed. Exactly twenty-five years have passed! Now they work and do not make a bad living; some have married and have children. Almost none of them use drugs and drunkenness has become call: enology.
When Carlos receives a medical report that completely shakes his life, he feels the need to reunite with his friend Pedro, one of the twenties gang, whom he has not seen for many years. Maybe it's just a reunion to remember some moments from the past or maybe it becomes the beginning of The Last Spree…
Kronen gave name to a generation and The last spree is the continuation of those characters. What happened to them? Anyone who read the novel (Kronen) and saw the adaptation of Armendariz in 1995 who was selected in Cannes and won a Goya price can enjoy this second part.
Kronen has sold Half a million books and today it is still being read in Spanish institutes. If it is to be compared will be with The Guardian among the Rye of Salinger in the USA. His characters are not a waste of moral virtues and yet youth is fascinated by them, and seems to feel recognized in them.

Author Biography
José Ángel Mañas is a contemporary Spanish novelist who is one of the major players in the so-called Neorealist generation of Spanish authors, along with the likes of Gabriela Bustelo, Ray Loriga and Lucía Etxebarria. His novels are gritty, fast paced and aim to show true life in Spain. José Ángel Mañas was born in Madrid on October 22, 1971. In 1994 he was finalist of the Nadal prize with his first work, Historias del Kronen. The novel had a great impact and opened the doors to a new generation of writers. After its publication the writer lived for several years between Madrid and Toulouse. He currently resides in Madrid. He is most famous for his contribution to the so-called Neorealist movement in contemporary Spanish novels. It is to this style that the 'Kronen Tetralogy' belongs, as all the novels are realist depictions of contemporary Spanish society. Along with the rest of the writers in this movement, Mañas criticizes and comments particularly on elements of pop culture and technology.
