Donde nadie me espere

Gabriel has walked away from an ordinary life, lost in an agonizing quest for where he belongs. Now thirty-one, he starts writing, retracing the road that made him who he has become: a young man covered in scars who has fallen as far as one can fall, into homelessness. His slide is not reduced to drugs or to mental illness; the novel takes a more unsettling view, that, crushed by what others expect or by despair, any family's son may simply let himself go. Writing, a long-postponed ambition, becomes his way of pressing on the wound, confronting what is most private and perhaps starting to heal.
