Ficción moderna y contemporanea



Written with humour and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Forbidden Child takes us back to an era of rock and roll, drugs and sex: the '70s. From Montreal to New York, California, Mexico, India and the Netherlands, it travels from a world of free love, music and smoke to the decline of the peace movement ? a time when soft drugs were replaced by hard ones and the music wasn?t so sweet anymore. Whether you are fascinated by this vibrant decade, or were lucky enough to be part of it as a young adult, Forbidden Child will make you visit (or revisit) a wondrous period of the last century.

Una novela original, sorprendente y llena de humor que pone de manifiesto una realidad de la sociedad actual de forma corrosiva y sin pelos en la lengua. He dormido más de 1.000 horas, he visto 72 películas, me he pasado 500 horas ante el televisor, he leído 34 libros, me he preguntado 272 veces qué iba a hacer con mi vida, me he masturbado durante 20 horas... En definitiva, no he perdido el tiempo. Trasto, a sus veinticinco años, es un bala perdida que no tiene la menor intención de cambiar. Sin proyectos a la vista, ni grandes ilusiones, decide refugiarse en su propia apatía en el piso de una compañera de facultad. Cuando la necesidad de conseguir un sustento le obliga a salir a la calle -a las inhóspitas calles del París más cosmopolita- y buscar un trabajo, las peripecias se suceden sin tregua. Porque Trasto, aunque sabe que no puede vivir sin pasta, tiene claro que no quiere renunciar a su libertad. Reseñas:«Por fin todos los recién licenciados que naufragan cada año en la ribera del desempleo como un banco de peces enloquecidos han encontrado su portavoz. En esta primera novela, Romain Monnery describe su estilo de vida de forma amena y mordaz.»Le Monde «El retrato de toda una generación que rechaza el mundo del trabajo a fuerza de haber sido rechazada por él. Una novela que canta las bondades de esta vida sin un empleo pero con mucha lectura, música y masturbación.»Les inrockuptibles «Con un estilo verdadero y un agudo sentido de la observación, Monnery tiene asegurado el triunfo entre los jóvenes.»Le Parisien «Un elogio de la ociosidad tan emotivo como divertido.»Lyon capital «El autor conduce su novela con una pluma feroz y divertida, desengañada pero sin cinismo.»7 Hebdo

Daniel O?Hara (Barcelona, 1968), llicenciat en filologia catalana, va estudiar interpretació a l`Institut del Teatre de Barcelona. Ha treballat com a actor i ha desenvolupat tasques de producció, premsa i comunicació en teatre i cinema. Debuta en la literatura amb El dia del client, finalista del XXIV Premi Just M. Casero de novel·la curta.El dia del clientDilluns i dimecres: dia del client a la sauna Condal de Barcelona. Allà transcorre bona part d?aquesta comèdia negra protagonitzada per un desorientat aspirant a actor que busca sexe compulsivament. Lluny d?apologies gais i sense pèls a la llengua, l?autor ens capbussa en el món complex i fascinant de les passions humanes més obscures a través de la seva mirada cínica i realista. Daniel O?Hara obre una nova via dins la literatura catalana: la de l?univers homosexual desacomplexat i autocrític. Escrita amb un llenguatge directe i dinàmic, El dia del client descriu, amb molt sentit de l?humor i força cruesa, l?univers afectiu d?aquest antiheroi que intenta sobreviure en un submón gai previ a qualsevol moda.
