Peluqueria Y Letras - Paperback

by Juan Pablo Villalobos (Author)

This could be a picaresque novel, although, according to the receptionists at the gastroenterology clinic where the protagonist is undergoing a colonoscopy, it could very well be a crime novel, with intricate mysteries, macabre accidents, incriminating evidence and two unusual suspects: a Breton hairdresser with a dark past and a supermarket watchman obsessed with writing the testimony of his experiences in life. The worst thing is that the protagonist doesn't even imagine it, because he is too worried about the consequences of happiness, that intoxicating torpor so pleasant that it makes him fear that he has fallen into the trap of gentrification.
