Synopsis "Comi (in Spanish)"

«Y tomé el librito de la mano del ángel y lo comí y fue dulce en mi boca; después, ya comido, fue amargo en mi vientre», escribió Juan en sus Revelaciones. Este libro, Comí, parece escrito bajo dicha consigna. Un hombre va a ser operado. Para serlo, debe vaciar todo resto de comida de sus intestinos, su estómago, su vida. El hombre tiene tres días para deshacerse de todo lo que comió y deshacerse de sí mismo y deshacerse. En esos tres días el hombre recorre, a través de sus comidas, su vida. El hombre, a veces, se parece mucho a Martín Caparrós; a veces no. Misterioso y explícito, hedonista y paranoico, celebratorio y llorón, Comí es un libro extraño: mezcla de novela, memoria, ensayo, basurero, es el relato de una caída y es, sobre todo, una reflexión brutal sobre la comida, los cuerpos y la medicina. Una nueva y singular entrega de Martín Caparrós, uno de los escritores indispensables en lengua española de nuestro tiempo.

Martín Caparrós (Buenos Aires, 1957) graduated in history in Paris, lived in Madrid and New York, directed book and cooking magazines, traveled half the world, translated Voltaire, Shakespeare, and Quevedo, received the Planeta Prize Latin America, the King of Spain award and the Guggenheim fellowship. At Anagrama, the novels To whom it may concern: "Necessary. It makes the ground tremble a little while we read it. And once closed, the ground continues to tremble" (Juan Bonilla, El Mundo); The Living (Herralde Novel Award 2011): "Dazzling. Major and definitive work" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); I Ate: "A feast of digression and style" (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País); "Honest and coherent, politically incorrect and alien to verbosity, to cliché or to easy ideological wink" (Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo); and Echeverría; the chronicles of One Moon: "The best current chronicler of Latin America: a superb interviewer, a traveler endowed with encyclopedic culture and a fine irony" (Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia); and Against Change. A hypervoyage to the climate apocalypse: "A strong reagent for sensitive souls or friends of the politically correct" (Leila Guerriero, El País); "Convinces as much as it seduces" (E. Paz Soldán, La Tercera, Chile); and the essay The Hunger: "Much more than an essay, much more than a novel, because Caparrós uses literature to accompany us to a hell made of a reality that is often only given distracted attention" (Roberto Saviano); "A book that will surely be important. A book that was missing" (Agustín Fernández Mallo, El Mundo)
