A propos du livre

Revue de presse

A spiritual brother of Günter Grass Tin Drum with a grotesque, Tarantino-like use of violence. --Ricardo Senabre, ABC

Goyito, a gleefully fatalistic and, when opportunity allows, priapic dwarf, personifies Spain as a modern replacement for Cervantes's hapless Don Quixote in this blisteringly funny black comedy which won the prestigious Premio Ojo Crítico award. . . In Goyito, Fernando Royuela has created a giant who will live on in this Diogenine barrel of laughs. The translation by Peter Bush is near flawless. --Times Literary Supplement

This is a vastly entertaining tale told by a remarkably resilient raconteur . . . A gonzo record of a long life. --Kirkus Reviews

Présentation de l'éditeur

A Bad End is the story of Goyito, a dwarf at the end of his life, who tells us, in a bitter and sarcastic way, the miserable reality of his lonely childhood, his macabre experiences as a circus clown, his liaisons dangereuses in Madrid s underworld. Mischief, desire, death, ambition, revenge the life of a rascal told in an exuberant, exhilarating language that makes the reader shift from laughter to grimace, from admiration to bewilderment. A totally Spanish novel, that depicts most of Spain s Twentieth century social and political events. A must read for all those interested in learning about Spanish idiosyncrasy and for lovers of challenging literary fiction.
