About the Book
El famoso cómico Galder Varas rompe el tabú de las familias desestructuradas con su primera novela gráfica: un viaje tragicómico a la infancia de muchos de nosotros.
¿Te ríes de todo porque tu vida es un desastre o tu vida es un desastre porque te ríes de todo?
Una familia desestructurada, niños atracadores, un padre que resuelve los problemas con un palo y una madre que refugia a sus hijos en la comida.
En medio de una mudanza, con su vida sentimental patas arriba y preocupado por su próxima actuación, Gadler (no confundir con el nombre completamente distinto de su autor, Galder) tratará de mantener enterradas las pruebas de un pasado que llama insistentemente a su puerta, como si reclamara algo de él.
En este emotivo viaje hacia los traumas que uno cree superados por el simple hecho de haberlos dejado en el olvido, nos sumergiremos en una vida totalmente disfuncional que cabalga entre lo trágico y lo absurdo con un único artefacto como arma y escudo: la comedia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Renowned comedian Galder Varas breaks the taboo of dysfunctional families with his first graphic novel, a tragicomic recreation of the type of childhood all too many of us have experienced.
Do you laugh at everything because your life is a disaster, or is your life a disaster because you laugh at everything?
A dysfunctional family, thieving offspring, a father who solves problems with beatings, and a mother who tries to protect her children by plying them with food.
In the middle of moving, with his romantic life in shambles and worried about his next gig, Gadler (not to be confused with Galder, an entirely different person) struggles to bury any signs of a past that knocks insistently at his door, as if demanding something of him.
In this moving look back at the childhood traumas we’d like think we’ve overcome simply because they are in the past, Vars portrays a dysfunctional existence that teeters between the tragic and the absurd, using comedy as both weapon and defense.
