Synopsis "A QUIEN CORRESPONDA (in Spanish)"

Cuando un viejo amigo devenido funcionario le ofrece la posibilidad de obtener alguna información sobre Estela, su mujer desaparecida por la dictadura, el protagonista ingresa en un incesante laberinto setentista que incluye reencuentros con sus ex compañeros de militancia, reflexiones extremas sobre la violencia y una serie de conversaciones banales y siempre tensas con una amante joven, Valeria, que contrastan con los diálogos imaginarios, pero escalofriantes que mantiene con el fantasma de Estela.

Valioso por donde se lo mire, A quien corresponda no solo es un tremendo policial cuya intriga nos deja sin aliento, sino también un mensaje lanzado al futuro que aborda, de un modo inteligente y desprejuiciado, el período más traumático de nuestra historia, el que más ecos mantiene en el presente.

At Anagrama, the novels To whom it may concern: "Necessary. It makes the ground tremble a little while we read it. And once closed, the ground continues to tremble" (Juan Bonilla, El Mundo); The Living (Herralde Novel Award 2011): "Dazzling. Major and definitive work" (Joaquín Marco, El Mundo); I Ate: "A feast of digression and style" (J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País); "Honest and coherent, politically incorrect and alien to verbosity, to cliché or to easy ideological wink" (Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo); and Echeverría; the chronicles of One Moon: "The best current chronicler of Latin America: a superb interviewer, a traveler endowed with encyclopedic culture and a fine irony" (Roberto Herrscher, La Vanguardia); and Against Change. A hypervoyage to the climate apocalypse: "A strong reagent for sensitive souls or friends of the politically correct" (Leila Guerriero, El País); "Convinces as much as it seduces" (E. Paz Soldán, La Tercera, Chile); and the essay The Hunger: "Much more than an essay, much more than a novel, because Caparrós uses literature to accompany us to a hell made of a reality that is often only given distracted attention" (Roberto Saviano); "A book that will surely be important. A book that was missing" (Agustín Fernández Mallo, El Mundo)
