«Toda nuestra existencia de personajillos de ciudad se podría condensar en cualquiera de los cuadros de Hopper. El miedo, la esperanza, el vacío y esa continua necesidad de que pase algo que lo cambie todo. Son como ventanas en la noche en las que asomarme a otras vidas que al final también son las nuestras.» Pablo llega a Madrid para empezar de cero y cumplir su sueño de ser actor. Siguiendo esa continua necesidad de que pase cualquier cosa que lo cambie todo, se convierte en un «desgastaaceras» de tanto patear la ciudad y relacionarse con la extraña fauna que la puebla. Dos personajes serán decisivos para su futuro: Elia, una segurata del museo Thyssen, fascinada por el pintor americano Edward Hopper, y... el fantasma de Pío Baroja. Con su primera novela, Carlos Langa se presenta como un autor cargado de talento e inteligencia. Melancólica, cómica y emotiva a partes iguales, ha escrito una original obra para todo aquel que disfruta con la buena literatura y las historias de amor diferentes. Como después de mirar un cuadro de Hopper, el lector no volverá a ver la ciudad y a sus habitantes de la misma forma tras leer esta obra. ‘Our entire existence as little city characters could be condensed into any one of Hopper's paintings. The fear, the hope, the emptiness and that continuous need for something to happen that changes everything. They are like windows in the night where I can look out into other lives that are also ours in the end.’ Pablo arrives in Madrid to start from scratch and fulfill his dream of being an actor. Following this continual need for anything to happen that changes everything, he becomes a "sidewalk buster" from so much kicking around the city and interacting with the strange fauna that populates it. Two characters will be decisive for his future: Elia, a security guard at the Thyssen museum, fascinated by the American painter Edward Hopper, and... the ghost of Pío Baroja. With his first novel, Carlos Langa presents himself as an author full of talent and intelligence. Melancholic, funny, and emotional in equal measure, he has written an original work for anyone who enjoys good literature and different love stories. Just as you do after looking at a painting by Hopper, the reader will never see the city and its inhabitants in the same way after reading this work.
