Conspiracy Vermú, by Aitor Marín

These are good times for the most traditional Hispanic satire from a grotesque in which his own would be overwhelmed Valle-Inclan. An occasion that paints her bald to write a good story about all this surrealism that surrounds us, or rather devours us. And that is how a Aitor Marin who has displayed hilarious creativity in this book.

Those who are determined to resuscitate Franco may find in this book a bedside work to accompany their wet dreams. Because the truth is that among the nostalgic on the one hand (who long for gray days), and the sofa and Twitter revolutionaries on the other (who claim to see Paco everywhere to justify their demands), this pressure cooker that is Spain , boils like never before.

So resurrect Franco literarily it was what he played to satisfy each other. And nobody better than a typical bar and vermouth ideologue like Victor Vaporús to confront a FrancoStein about to return, affirming with his piping voice great phrases taken from other illustrious absentees: "As we said yesterday", or perhaps "Ja soc here."

Although, to tell the truth, what Víctor Vaporús seeks is to unleash his lowest passions that could lead him to the resurrection of anyone in order to resurrect his own sexual passions.

All part of a meeting with the journalist Dolores Ambigú, editor of the emblematic and now defunct magazine Interviú, who reconciled between its pages political affairs with nudes at the price of a complete print run.

She, Dolores, is after a case that could be one of its biggest exclusives for the magazine (and look at Interviú had a few ...) Scientific evolution may lead to a new Franco who will return to rebuild a Spain threatened from all sides .

There are days when Juan Carlos I apologized for killing elephants, made exit through the forum and left the crown for his son Felipe. And with this abdication, Paco's footprint seems to be erased forever with his knots tying everything.

Corintio Hazá, with his naphtalinesque presence, is in charge of the rebirth of the dictator. And without a doubt, it is he who has decided that Dolores Ambigú is in the way of the cause with her report about to be published based on privileged information.

Only that Corintio could not imagine that a half-dating for the fifty-year-old Victor Vaporús could be a rescue mission that neither James Bond.

Victor's frenzied adventure to discover what happened to Dolores will lead us to that already announced grotesque, to the most stark satire, to the ridicule of those who still live in the shadows for antagonistic reasons already mentioned, for authoritarian desires or to fight against phantasmagorical conspiracies .

And everything that happens at the end, after a fascinating journey, also points to the Valley of the Fallen as an emblematic place in the style of a Dan Brown ending, even the harvester wine bars, yes.

A delusional novel with which to enjoy and laugh at the ridiculous days in which we live.
