About This Book

Con tono afilado y humorístico, el autor reúne crónicas y ensayos que combinan observaciones de viaje con sátira social: el regreso a la vida española visto desde la distancia, costumbres populares, el dinero y la psicología nacional, personajes urbanos, teatro y vida cotidiana. Intercala críticas políticas y literarias, fábulas paródicas, reflexiones sobre médicos, millonarios y duelos, y esbozos del paisaje cultural y lingüístico. La prosa recrea escenas minuciosas y ironiza sobre instituciones, vicios y mitos colectivos, alternando anécdota personal y ensayo breve para perfilar un retrato mordaz y juguetón de la sociedad contemporánea.
