Llega a bolsillo la novela de Carmen MartÃn Gaite por la que fue finalista del Premio Biblioteca Breve. David Fuentes narra su propia autobiografÃa desde el manicomio. Desde ahà reflexiona sobre su empeño en mantenerse fiel a sus valores, a su ideal utópico de libertad absoluta, a pesar de que para ello tenga que sacrificar a su familia, el amor o la amistad, en una sociedad que transita entre el conservadurismo y una nueva corriente pragmática y consumista. El destino de David es voluntariamente trágico y, asÃ, inicia un camino que no tiene retorno.
