Summary:
"Una casa junto al mar está en venta. Por ella desfilan posibles compradores que la visitan, la alaban o reniegan de ella. Sin embargo, no es a ellos a quienes escuchamos, no es al agente inmobiliario al que oímos. Quien siente, quien se emociona, quien reflexiona, quien se confiesa ante nosotros es la propia casa, que desde sus paredes, su suelo y su techo, es piel y latido de todo lo que ocurre. Con una prosa siempre irónica y ácida, que acaricia y corroe simultáneamente, Mercedes Abad ha establecido magistralmente el animismo de un espacio tan complejo como un futuro hogar, testigo de todo aquello que hacemos o dejamos de hacer. La voz de una de nuestras grandes escritoras es ilustrada en esta ocasión por las espléndidas obras de Álvaro Ardévol, autor de un proyecto digital que no dejará indiferente a nadie" -- Publisher's description.
English translation of Spanish summary: "A house by the sea is for sale. Potential buyers who visit, praise or deny her parade through her. However, it is not them that we listen to, it is not the real estate agent that we hear. Who feels, who is moved, who reflects, who confesses before us is the house itself, which from its walls, its floor and its ceiling, is the skin and heartbeat of everything that happens. With an always ironic and acid prose that caresses and corrodes simultaneously, Mercedes Abad has masterfully established the animism of a space as complex as a future home, a witness to everything we do or stop doing. The voice of one of our great writers is illustrated on this occasion by the splendid works of Álvaro Ardévol, author of a digital project that will not leave anyone indifferent" -- Publisher's description.
