We say goodbye to the literary season of TOMO Y LOMO with Silvia Nanclares and Silvia Herreros de Tejada in a very special program in which we talk about books that make us dance. And it is special because we change roles and the director and creator of Carne Cruda will be interviewed, Javier Gallegowho after eight years of work, has published his first novel “The Fall of the Empire” (Penguin Random House).
A novel that begins with a party. Because it is a party: a party of language, a dance of words and emotions, a feast of styles, a collective improvisation of a polyphony of voices and a song, a howl, of a disenchanted generation. A journey through the catacombs of a recent history: the social crisis of a decade ago in parallel with the vital crisis of your characters, the end of innocence for them and for the country, the end of the festival of youth and the end of the celebration of our young democracy. A 72-hour novel, from Friday the 13th to the early hours of Monday, May 16, 2011, in which seven friends in their thirties tour the gambling dens underground of the Madrid night, while the unrest that gave rise to the outbreak in the streets was brewing.
And we are also going to party with the book “Electric Shamans at the Festival of the Sun” (Random House), by Monica Ojeda: the story of two friends, Noa and Nicole who flee from Guayaquil to attend the Ruido Solar macro festival. In this adventure, Noa is also searching for her father, who has lived for years in the high forests, a place where the missing are hidden: those who, after visiting the Solar Noise, decided to never return home.
We finish this literary dance with “Orquesta” (Alfaguara), by Miqui Oterowhich transfers its universe to a rural setting: a Galician village where the festival takes place where the generations that star in this novel come together dancing.
