Nuestro protagonista, un meÌdico que ha derivado en homeoÌpata arruinado, recibe la llamada de su exmujer, que le hace una propuesta surrealista: perdonarle los meses de pensioÌn de alimentos que le debe, por la custodia del hijo que tienen en comuÌn, a cambio de que aloje en su casa a su uÌnico hermano: un quiÌmico genial que arrastra una larga depresioÌn y que ha encontrado consuelo en las novelas de Conan Doyle. Hasta tal punto se ha obsesionado con el personaje que ha dado en pensar que es la encarnacioÌn del verdadero Sherlock Holmes, como Alonso Quijano creyoÌ ser don Quijote. AsiÌ, aceptando el ultimaÌtum de su exmujer -±¿cunÌado sin pensioÌn o pensioÌn sin cunÌado?-, nuestro narrador se veraÌ obligado a convivir con la ±reencarnacioÌn del detective maÌs famoso de todos los tiempos y, como un trasunto del cronista Watson, le seguiraÌ en sus investigaciones, acomodaÌndose a su enajenacioÌn y rompiendo la cuarta pared con el lector. El ficticio Holmes (siendo el auteÌntico un personaje de ficcioÌn en siÌ) se presentaraÌ como tal. Su vasta inteligencia y sus formidables dotes deductivas le permitiraÌn impresionar a sus ±clientes y obtener de ellos un trato respetuoso frente a sus reflexiones tan certeras como decimonoÌnicas. MaÌximo Pradera hace gala de su espleÌndido conocimiento del universo holmesiano para convertir esta historia -mediante los resortes de la comedia y la saÌtira- en una magniÌfica novela de enigma que, al tiempo, haraÌ estallar en carcajadas al lector. Un festiÌn metaliterario muy bien servido, galardonado en la XXXVI EdicioÌn del Premio JaeÌn de Novela, uno de los de maÌs solera y prestigio de EspanÌa. 520 $a A torrid morning in July in the center of Madrid. Our protagonist, a doctor who has become a ruined homeopath, receives a call from his ex-wife, who makes a surreal proposal: forgive him the months of alimony that he owes him, for the custody of the child they have in common, in exchange for let him house his only brother: a genius chemist in a long depression who has found comfort in the novels of Conan Doyle. He has become so obsessed with the character that he has led him to think that he is the incarnation of the true Sherlock Holmes, as Alonso Quijano believed himself to be Don Quixote. Thus, accepting the ultimatum of his ex-wife - "brother-in-law without pension or pension without brother-in-law?" -, our narrator will be forced to live with the "reincarnation" of the most famous detective of all time and, as a transcript of the chronicler Watson , will follow him in his investigations, accommodating himself to his alienation and breaking the fourth wall with the reader. The fictional Holmes (the real one being a fictional character himself) will present himself as such. His vast intelligence and his formidable deductive gifts will allow him to impress his "clients" and obtain respectful treatment from them in the face of his accurate and nineteenth-century reflections. MÌximo Pradera shows off his splendid knowledge of the Holmesian universe to turn this story -through the springs of comedy and satire- into a magnificent enigma novel that, at the same time, will make the reader burst into laughter. A very well served metaliterary feast, awarded in the XXXVI Edition of the JaÌn Novel Prize, one of the most traditional and prestigious in Spain. 650 0 $a Physicians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Reincarnation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Chemists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Depressed persons $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Holmes, Sherlock $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Spanish language materials 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020242.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210506010054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=52C01660AE3011EB843E3DCE24ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
