"Ismael remembers the time when, at thirteen years old, his parents hired Rai, a boy five years older than him,…
to tutor him. After an unproductive first session, they made a pact: the student would study on his own and the teacher would talk to him about books, movies, music, life.... Also about Samuel, a young man who wrote to schedule a meeting with his ex-girlfriend, with the threat that if she did not show up he would commit suicide. With this starting point, Martín Casariego has written a novel of initiation, a novel about the passage from adolescence to maturity; about the family and the new forms of relationships between young people; about the intensity of such a decisive stage in life; about the weight of existence and how to alleviate it. A story marked by shadows, doubts and secrets, in which the white whale the narrator has been running from will end up showing up unexpectedly years later, changing everything and prompting him to rethink what happened." -- Translation provided by NLS

second place for many years.' So begins The Hero's Friend, first published in 1998 and remastered for this edition. This story by Álvaro Enrigue dusts off the naivety and vanity of childhood: Ponchito, a child like any other, played at being the hero. A memorable literary exercise. A sobering experience. Enrigue puts himself at the feet of his protagonist and relives the dialogues of two middle school kids who in their relentless fight against crime are forced to face the ultimate and most unexpected consequences." -- Translation provided by NLS
