The Cross-Eyed Rooster
Book Summary
A wild story that takes place between Barcelona and Madrid, with stops in Paris, Biarritz, and San Sebastián, where reality and fiction merge in a crazy journey through the author's mind. The reader will delve into an irreverent and uninhibited narrative, written with humor and provocation, that challenges literary and social conventions. A work that does not seek to please, but rather to entertain from a personal and transgressive perspective.

Through a direct and uncompromising style, the work explores themes such as individual freedom, the rejection of established institutions, and a particular vision of success and failure.
