Summary

Una inteligente novela tragicómica sobre los dramas del matrimonio y los absurdos de las relaciones que construimos en las redes sociales.
 
Premio Biblioteca de Narrativa Colombiana 2019.

El viejo profesor Pizarro, ajeno a los odios y las lapidaciones de hoy, publica en su Facebook de principiante un post que pone en jaque su vida: una investigación científica que insiste en que las mujeres que son madres son las más inteligentes.

En torno a su debacle se desata una vertiginosa historia coral: el nefasto año 2016 -el año bisiesto del plebiscito por la paz en Colombia, del Brexit, de Trump- se vuelve una prueba para los nervios de varias parejas a punto de caer en sus propias trampas.

Con la inteligencia y el humor que lo caracterizan, en esta lúcida narración Ricardo Silva Romero construye un mural de esta época dominada por la tecnología, en la que la irrealidad y los equívocos definen muchas veces nuestras relaciones.

With the cleverness and wit that characterize him, in this lucid narrative Ricardo Silva Romero paints a canvas of the current era dominated by technology, one
