David Vivancos Allepuz gives voice to a menagerie of losers, laborers, and suburban flâneurs who refuse to inhabit a city of tourists and hipsters. Amidst games of brisca, pork rinds, and glasses of anise, the reader will encounter unforgettable characters who turn the bar into the epicenter of their existence. A work that captures the essence of a class and a place on the verge of extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book gathers a series of stories that take place in the universe of Bodega Pifarré, a neighborhood bar where life is measured in rounds of beer and clandestine games of brisca. The protagonists are failed workers, waiters with cigarettes in their mouths, eccentric poets, unsuccessful magicians, and devout churchgoers. They all share the same longing: to finish their shift, take the subway, and return to the neighborhood. The work audaciously describes a city that once was and is no more, but still resists in those who understood the bar as the center of the neighborhood and the neighborhood as the center of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe resistance of neighborhood culture against gentrification and mass tourism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe figure of the loser and the antihero in contemporary Spain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe bar as a space for socialization, refuge, and daily ritual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNostalgia for a city that is transforming and disappearing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIrony and dark humor as tools for portraying reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary Spanish narrative with strong local and social roots.
