La aclamada novela de Miqui Otero, considerada la gran novela contemporánea sobre Barcelona, con nuevo prólogo del autor
A los veinticuatro años, Fidel Centella se va de casa para compartir piso con tres amigos, apodados los Rayos. Es quizá el primer paso recto hacia la adultez, aunque la historia se centra en la desorientación de la juventud, asà como en todo lo que nos pasa cuando no parece pasar nada, como aventuras mÃnimas en una vivienda caótica, corrupciones urbanas, dilemas sentimentales y hasta un conflicto familiar. Ambientada en una vibrante Barcelona contemporánea (postolÃmpica y precrisis), por lo que se la bendijo como la nueva gran novela sobre esa ciudad, Rayos invita a reflexionar sobre la dificultad de ser uno mismo, la lucha con la creación y la búsqueda de referentes sólidos en una cultura de lo fugaz, donde todo transcurre demasiado rápido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Miqui Otero's acclaimed novel, considered the greatest contemporary novel about Barcelona, with a new prologue by the author. At twenty-four, Fidel Centella is leaving his family home to share a flat with three of his friends, nicknamed the Rays. It is perhaps the first straightforward step towards adulthood, though this story is centered in the disorientation of youth, as well as everything that happens when nothing seems to happen, like tiny adventures in a chaotic home, urban corruption, emotional dilemmas, and even family conflicts. Set in a vibrant contemporary Barcelona (post-Olympics and pre-crisis)--reason why it was dubbed the new great novel about this city--Rays invites reflection on the difficulty of becoming oneself, the struggles with creation, and the search for solid references in a fleeing culture where everything happens way too fast.
