A man, Quique, quietly falls apart while running a small cafe in California. His marriage has become a tired performance he can't quit. His gut twists with cramps that come out of nowhere, like his own body is sending him messages he'd rather ignore. The only things that still feel real are his dog Melody May, who watches him with those patient eyes, and the little blue notebook he writes in when the weight of the days gets too heavy.
He is caught between the life he built and the man he has turned into. What is left when the roles stop working? Are we all just pretending until the pretending collapses? Is there any real point facing the emptiness if you are not sure you will come out the other side in one piece?
Raw, bitter, and brutally honest, Interlude follows one man's slow, ugly unraveling and the stubborn little spark that refuses to die completely. It is about the exile you carry inside, the kind no plane ticket or change of scenery can fix. About the quiet terror of realizing your own life no longer feels like yours. A book for anyone who has ever looked around and thought: this can't be all there is.
