Summary:
"Este es el diario de un joven estudiante de medicina. El eje del diario es su novia. Desde su casa, el futuro medico ve la casa de ella. La terraza, las ventanas por las que asoma y es saludada o ignorada según el punto en que la turbulenta relación se encuentre. Siempre vigilada. Analizada minuciosamente, en cada uno de sus gestos, en sus salidas de casa, sola o con amigas, en cada vestido que se pone, y que provoca ira, celos o complacencia en el protagonista. El diario, al tiempo que recrea el entorno de su autor -la relación velada de su madre con una amiga, sus compañeros, un amigo con ínfulas de escritor y otro atrapado por la droga- va dando paso a la mente de un manipulador, al germen de un maltratador que, basándose en un proceso de falsa lógica, se atribuye derechos que según su opinión se deben a valores universales y que en realidad solo responden a su propio y obsesivo criterio. Antonio Soler nos muestra una vez más su maestría como narrador al desentrañar el funcionamiento de la mente de quien se cree el único propietario de los seres con los que comparte su vida sin que el les deba nada." -- Sobrecubierta
"This is the diary of a young medical student. The focus of the diary is his girlfriend. From her house, the future doctor sees her house. The terrace, the windows through which he appears and is greeted or ignored depending on the point at which the turbulent relationship is. Always watched. Analyzed in detail, in each of her gestures, in her outings from home, alone or with friends, in each dress that she wears, and that provokes anger, jealousy or complacency in the protagonist. The diary, while recreating the environment of its author - his mother's veiled relationship with a friend, her colleagues, a friend with writer's pretensions and another trapped by drugs - gradually gives way to the mind of a manipulator, to the germ of an abuser who, based on a process of false logic, attributes rights that in his opinion are due to universal values and that in reality only respond to his own obsessive criteria. Antonio Soler shows us once again his mastery as a narrator by unraveling the functioning of the mind of someone who believes himself to be the sole owner of the beings with whom he shares his life without owing them anything." -- Dust jacket
