Sánchez
by Esther García Llovet
Description
A brilliant portrait of the Madrid you won’t find in tourist guides. A thriller with imagery and situations worthy of a David Lynch in a state of grace.
A night in the outskirts of Madrid—gambling and bingo, gas stations and bars in the middle of nowhere. A starkly real Madrid in which suddenly the unexpected, even the magical, can happen. This is the backdrop for the characters of this novel, losers in search of an opportunity. Their names are Nikki and Sánchez. They’ve shared a life together in the past, but now they are separated. She has been dealing tobacco in the South and now has come back to Madrid where she has entered the world of gambling and greyhound races. He is famous for being jinxed and inclined to disappear. Nikki asks Sánchez to help her to deliver a greyhound named Cromwell to an Italian woman who is in the racing business. Over the course of an endless night, the couple will make its way through a spectral Madrid as they search for this greyhound and meet a cast of odd characters, such as the Serbian artist who has just put on a performance that consists of eating raw meat in the middle of a forest for 24 hours…
«Esther García Llovet is a rara avis… The author questions every code, every image, every word… Wonderful» (Marta Sanz).
