Description
I love you because you feed me
Book Summary
David Llorente breaks the molds of the noir novel with a bold and experimental literary proposal. In this work, the reader is immersed in a criminal universe where the simultaneity of events challenges traditional narrative. The brutality of a serial killer intertwines with multiple criminal stories that emerge and vanish at the same time, creating an immersive and almost three-dimensional experience. The protagonist, Max Luminaria, a brilliant and silent young man who excelled in his medical studies, becomes the axis of a plot where what matters is not who the criminal is, but the certainty of their existence.
What is it about?
The novel proposes a unique narrative exercise: instead of a linear succession of events, the author constructs a story where everything happens simultaneously. Max Luminaria, an exceptionally quiet boy who earned the highest university entrance exam score in Spain and decided to study medicine, finds himself immersed in a scenario where violence and crime multiply without any apparent order. The serial killer exists, but their identity and the police investigation take a backseat to the tangle of criminal tales that the narrator unfolds and dissolves at the same time. It is a read that demands attention and rewards the reader with a renewed perspective on the noir genre.
