FIN (Cliff 2009)
A group of old friends who have nothing in common except a murky episode in the past, meets at a mountain retreat for a weekend pass.
The meeting closely follows the usual script of these cases, but in full celebration, an external event completely alter their plans.
Under increasing pressure, each individual will interpret events according to their particular obsessions, and inter-faith and strife will go a long incubated reconstituting a sordid and intricate pattern of relationships that had united in the past, all under the shadow of threat increasingly close and palpable.
Order is not an easy job: it is a tale that travels from the generational drama to science fiction dark.
The real reason to be left crushed by the apocalyptic plot takes more than a hundred pages to be disclosed.
Monteagudo avoids any convention in the genre, leaving the battered body to share the fears and doubts of their players, without explanation or bonds, only the true horror of never knowing what really happens.
A (new) look accurate to the apocalypse that is called to be the literary debut this year.
THE AUTHOR
David Monteagudo (Viveiro, Lugo, 1962), based in Catalonia, Galicia, discovered his literary vocation forty.
Monteagudo works as a laborer in a cardboard factory Penedes.
Oblivious to any literary circles, did not begin writing until he was forty years (now 47) and, although she says she has saved several novels in a drawer, this is the first time you see your work published.
He was also, Cliff, prestigious publishing house who has relied on its proposal, a label of quality that may have pushed critical press to read and promote a special title from the flood of news.
In short, Cliff will continue the publication of his work with a book of stories, stories that end badly.
