About This Book

Una colección de cuadros costumbristas y ensayos breves que recuerdan escenas y hábitos urbanos, en su mayor parte madrileños, combinando anécdota, ironía y melancolía. Los textos recrean noches de fiesta, ferias, celebraciones y ambientes teatrales, así como pequeñas meditaciones sobre la memoria, el gusto popular y la condición del escritor. Organizados en viñetas, alternan retratos de personajes y observaciones sociales con reflexiones personales sobre la literatura y el paso del tiempo.
