La Conjura Contra Porky / The Plot Against Porky

«Una de las voces más personales, controvertidas y exuberantes de la literatura actual en español . Jurado del Premio FIL de Literatura

Entre ironías, burlas, improperios, maldiciones, blasfemias, este librito sin pretensiones hará reír a muchos e iluminará a montones. Trata modestamente de apresar el cambio frenético que se ha apoderado del mundo. Su autor vive en la Luna y desde allá dispara. Es un francotirador lunático que abre fuego contra el que sea: presidentes, papas, reguetoneros, raperos, médicos... Y con especial delectación contra las reverendas madres, perpetuadoras de la especie, su blanco predilecto. Apunta desde arriba el selenita contra sus soldaditos de plomo, dispara y van cayendo allá abajo unos tras otras. Qué puntería! Qué masacre!

«A un paso de que la humanidad desaparezca por el exceso de gente, el derretimiento de los polos, la crecida de los mares y la gran fiesta nuclear que viene, juzgo oportuno enrostrarle al hombre lo cruel y atropellador que ha sido con los animales y enterarlo de la dicha inmensa que me causa su castigo y próxima desaparición . Eso dice, eso anuncia, oigámosle.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"One of the most personal, controversial, and exuberant voices in literature in the Spanish language today." --Jury of the FIL Literary Award

Among ironies, mockery, insults, curses, profanities, this unpretentious little book will make many people laugh and will enlighten a ton more. It modestly attempts to grasp the frantic change that has taken over the world. The author lives in the Moon and shoots from there. He is a lunatic sniper that opens fire against anything: presidents, popes, reggaeton singers, rapper, doctors... And with special delight against mothers, perpetuators of the species, his target of choice. The selenite aims from above at his little lead soldiers, fires, and they fall one after the other down below. Such aim! What a massacre!

"On the verge of humanity's collapse due to overpopulation, melting ice caps, sea levels rising, and the upcoming nuclear party, I consider appropriate to show man what a cruel trampler he has been with animals and let him know of the overwhelming delight I feel in his punishment and near demise." That is what he says, that is what he proclaims, let's hear him out.
