Un manuscrito perdido. Un crÃtico literario que creÃa haber leÃdo todo. Y una novela tan perfecta que amenaza con poner su vida de cabeza. Por un capricho del destino, el famoso crÃtico PS termina con un manuscrito inédito entre las manos. No tarda en descubrir que ese texto firmado con un simple seudónimo es, quizá, la mejor novela que haya leÃdo jamás. Y ese hallazgo lo arrastrará a una obsesión que cimbrará su trabajo, su relación y su propia idea de lo que es la literatura. Alrededor de esta premisa, Antonio Malpica construye una narración cuasidetectivesca en la que su protagonista, a la par que investiga para encontrar a tan misterioso autor (o autora), reflexiona sobre las grandes preguntas que se hace todo lector.
A lost manuscript. A literary critic who thought he'd read everything. And a novel so perfect it threatens to turn his life upside down. By a twist of fate, the renowned critic PS finds himself with an unpublished manuscript. He soon discovers that this text, signed with a simple pseudonym, is perhaps the best novel he has ever read. And this discovery will plunge him into an obsession that will shake his work, his relationships, and his very understanding of literature. Around this premise, Antonio Malpica constructs a quasi-detective narrative in which his protagonist, while investigating to find this mysterious author, reflects on the great questions every reader asks themselves.
