THE LAST BINGE
by José Ángel Mañas
WINNER OF THE ATENEO DE SEVILLA NOVEL AWARD 2019 A long time ago, a group of friends always met at the Kronen Bar to consume their youth through sex, drugs and alcohol. In certain occasions they flirted with death; some of them even ended badly. It's been a long time. It's been twenty five years exactly. Now they have jobs and earn their lives pretty decently. Some got married and have kids. Almost none of them takes drugs anymore and their former wild nights out have turned into evening wine tastings. When Carlos receives some news that totally shocks his life, he feels the urge to get back in touch with his friend Pedro, who he hasn't seen in many years. Maybe their reencounter will only be an excuse to remember the past. Or maybe it will be the perfect beginning of their last binge...
