Synopsis "VALECUATRO (in Spanish)"

«Hablo de una partida cuyo resultado conozco, porque estuve entre quienes la jugaron. No revelaré el final pero diré, sí, que no involucra tan solo muertes simbólicas».

La juventud —y en particular, la adolescencia— es un tiempo explosivo, exuberante. «La sensación de que uno durará para siempre, más que el mar, la Tierra y la totalidad de los hombres», decía Joseph Conrad. Pero ser pibe durante una dictadura, como la de los 70 en la Argentina, supone un juego diferente. Que demanda no solo coraje, sino una dosis de picardía.

El narrador de Valecuatro cursa la escuela secundaria cuando irrumpe la dictadura; sin embargo, nada cambia. Todo sigue pareciendo normal. Hasta que percibe el terror que desborda el escenario de cartón piedra que montó el poder. Y descubre que, además de los desafíos que acucian a cada adolescente —su lugar en la sociedad, el sexo, el amor, una realidad tan injusta que subleva—, su situación entraña otros peligros. Para el cuerpo, sí, pero sobre todo para el alma.

Con humor y sensibilidad, la nueva novela de Marcelo Figueras se pregunta qué pasa cuando el mundo se pone espantoso y, en vez de «fingir demencia», todos fingen normalidad. En esa emergencia, aunque toquen cartas malas, no queda otra que encontrar un modo de ganar la partida.

Marcelo Figueras (Buenos Aires, 1962) is an Argentine journalist and writer, author of short stories and novels.

He started in journalism working for various newspapers and magazines such as Clarín, El Periodista, or Humor. He was the director of the monthly magazine Caín, and has collaborated with Spanish press like El País. He combines his literary work with that of a film screenwriter (Burnt Money, Kamchatka, Dangerous Obsession, Rosario Tijeras, and The Widows of Thursdays). Some of his stories were published in anthologies like The Argentine Selection.

In 1992, he published his first novel: The Peronist Boy. Then came others, such as Kamchatka (2003), a finalist in the IFFP (the most important prize the English award to a writer of another language) and winner of the Valle-Inclán Prize, The Battle of Warming (2006) or Aquarium (2009).

He is not the classic writer who only feels comfortable in the silent stillness of libraries, he also likes adrenaline. He worked for the Spanish magazine Planeta Humano and in Israel covered the Palestinian conflict as a war correspondent.

His work has been translated into numerous languages.
