Una novela (des)romántica que habla del amor en sus diferentes formas y colores. Beto acaba de aterrizar en España después de una temporada en México. Se fue para escapar de Manuel Petulante, un actor de musicales que no dejaba de presionarlo con la idea de hacer «oficial su relación, pero una vez de vuelta, su postura cambia radicalmente cuando, en el avión de regreso, se le aparece la virgen de Guadalupe y le da señales claras de que -quizás- Manuel sà que era el hombre de su vida. Asà pues, le hace una promesa a la virgen y su principal objetivo, aparte de encontrar un trabajo, será reconquistar a su antiguo amante cueste lo que cueste. Le acompañarán Josemari, un homosexual de derechas que hará lo imposible por ingresar en las listas de un partido conservador -incluido, salir del armario-; Prada, una mujer que decide inseminarse para cumplir su sueño de ser madre; la Doña Buchona, una drag mexicana de origen español que vuelve para reencontrarse con una madre que hace más de diez años que no ve y, finalmente, Sisi, un activista no binarie que se meterá en más de un lÃo por culpa de su adicción al sexo y a los hombres. El escritor y periodista Jose Mola construye en La maldición del sà quiero una novela llena de situaciones hilarantes que explora con hondura la dificultad de establecer vÃnculos afectivos en una sociedad gobernada por la inmediatez de las pantallas. Un retrato actual que a través de las aventuras y desventuras de un grupo de amigos tratará de manera inteligente y efectista temas como la identidad, las adicciones, la búsqueda idealizada del amor, el ansia por alcanzar la fama, las dificultades de ser madre soltera o de ser honesto con uno mismo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A (un)romantic novel that describes the different shapes and colors of love. Beto has just arrived in Spain from Mexico, where he fled to escape Manuel Petulante, an actor relentlessly pressuring him to make their relationship official. On the flight home, however, he has a drastic change of heart; appearing to him in a vision, the Virgin of Guadalupe sends him clear hints that - maybe, just maybe - Manuel was in fact the love of his life. Beto makes a promise to the Virgin, committing not only to find a job but also to win back his former lover, whatever it takes. Joining him on his quest are Josemari, a right-leaning gay man desperate to run as a conservative candidate, even if it means coming out of the closet; Prada, a woman who opts for artificial insemination to realize her dream of becoming a mother; Doña Buchona, a Mexican drag queen born in Spain who returns to visit the mother she hasn't seen in more than a decade; and Sisi, a non-binary activist whose sex addiction leads to one form of trouble after another. Writer and reporter Jose Mola is a master of devising absurd situations that explore the challenges of being in a romantic relationship in a society ruled by the immediate gratification of social media. A devastatingly accurate portrait of our times through the adventures and misadventures of a group of friends cleverly but dramatically navigating issues such as identity, addiction, idealized notions of love, lust for fame, single motherhood, and the difficulty of being honest with oneself.
