About the Book

Todos buscan el final feliz, la cara sonriente, romper con el destino natural, evitar la tragedia; persiguen lo banal y desabrido, lo ligero y mujeril: se rehúsan a hacer literatura. La biblioteca de Icamole se ha quedado sin lectores. Sin embargo, los libros que la habitan se apoderan de la cotidianidad del pueblo que muere de sed y dan la respuesta a una muerte misteriosa. La de una pequeña que aparece inerte dentro de la única reserva de agua que queda: el pozo de Remigio, hijo de Lucio, el bibliotecario. Un verdugo implacable de las malas historias, mismas que entrega sin remordimiento a las cucarachas. Lucio será el encargado de encontrar en los libros la coartada perfecta. Esa que libera al presunto culpable de asesinar a la hermosa niña que, muerta, consigue cautivarlo. Así, la versión que surge de las páginas sobrevivientes se convierte en la única posibilidad. En la opción que permitirá a todos continuar. David Toscana rebasa los límites existentes entre vida y literatura con su habilidad de enlazar narraciones que parecen eternas e infinitas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The library at Icamole has become a lifeless space, no one crosses it threshold any longer. In a town consumed by thirst the books that inhabit this space have taken over everyday life, shedding light on the mysterious death of a small girl found in the town's sole remaining water reservoir: the well belonging to Lucio's son, Remigio. It is now up to Lucio, as the librarian, to come up with the perfect alibi. It is in this manner that a story takes shape from the surviving pages, allowing everyone to go on with their lives.
