Mi organismo en obras
An ironic and nostalgic look at the complex, solitary passage through adolescence. The episodes in this book form a fresco on which file past the collection of comics in late infancy, the Superhero books, religious education classes, cricifixes in classrooms, blessed grandmothers with their invocations to St Barbara, Julys spent between construction work and maths crammers, recordings from the radio on blank cassettes, afternoons at the swimming pool with the ghetto-blaster at top volume, the obligatory ingestion of Calcium 20, the arbitrary, recurrent sadness, the complexes, video clubs, compulsive masturbation, the first porn movie… and the tender longing, to some extent a relief, for a whole past era, the loved ones we leave behind and the person we once were but no longer are.
