Jose Ovejero

When Samuel receives a call out of the blue about the death of his lover Clara, his own numbing existence seems about to come to an end. Does it matter that he never knew Clara? And, if he invents a past for his love and his loss, could he even fake his way through her funeral? Unable to pass up the chance at leading a fresh, new life, Samuel leads himself down a path of lies, until he can no longer distinguish between what is real and what he has invented. Ovejero's existential thriller of first mistaken and then stolen identity exposes the fictions people create to sustain themselves in a dehumanising modern world.

Carmela and Nico live in a nice house in the suburbs with their little girl, Berta, their dog, Laika, and Olivia, the young Ecuadorian home help. When Olivia arrives one morning to find blood stains at the entrance of the house, a trail of footprints leads her and Nico to a terrible discovery. Beneath the calm, a huge storm brews.

Un libro de viaje es siempre el fragmento de una autobiograf a. Algo como eso postul en pleno siglo XIX el escoc s Robert Louis Stevenson. La afirmaci n es tan cierta como parcial. En realidad tales libros terminan siendo siempre las historias de vida de mucha gente, en principio, de todos los que son retratados en la narraci n. Mucho de ello podr comprobar el lector al viajar por los Otros Cielos de Jos Ovejero, y asistir a qui n es y c mo ve la vida de los otros, y por tanto, la suya propia, el autor.
