joy

From the heart of his memory, a man who carries as many years of past as he has hopes for the future, illuminates, through his memories, his story, that of his generation and that of a country. A story that sometimes hurts, but always accompanies.

The overwhelming success of his latest novel takes the protagonist on a world tour. A journey with two sides: the public, in which the character approaches his readers, and the intimate, in which he takes advantage of every moment of solitude to search for his truth. A truth that comes to light after the death of his parents, his divorce and his life with a new woman, a life in which his children become the cornerstone on which pivots the urgent need to find happiness.

Halfway between confession and autofiction, the author writes a story that takes off from the past and launches into what has not yet happened. A hopeful search for joy.
