Summary:
El lunes anunciaron que se había ganado un premio literario. El martes lo acusaron de haberse plagiado unos artículos periodísticos. El jueves lo acusaron de haberse plagiado también el tema de la novela premiada. El lunes siguiente setenta y nueve escritores firmaron una carta exigiendo que devolviera el premio y que renunciara a su puesto en la universidad, un pequeño imperio. El miércoles renunció al premio y al puesto. El mismo miércoles supo que su mujer tenía tratos con el instigador de la campaña en su contra. El lunes de la siguiente semana le llevaron la grabación de una llamada entre su mujer y su rival. El jueves su rival amaneció acuchillado. El viernes lo visitó la policía. Todo esto requiere una explicación. La explicación es esta novela: un juego de espejos sobre el plagio, la admiración, la envidia, los celos, el azar, la muerte. Y la policía.
On Monday they announced that he had won a literary award. On Tuesday he was accused of having plagiarized newspaper articles. On Thursday he was accused of having also plagiarized the subject of the winning novel. The following Monday, seventy-nine writers signed a letter demanding that he return the award and resign his position at the university, a small empire. On Wednesday he resigned the award and the position. On the same Wednesday he learned that his wife had dealings with the instigator of the campaign against him. On Monday of the following week they brought him a recording of a call between his wife and his rival. On Thursday his rival woke up stabbed. On Friday the police visited him. All of this requires an explanation. The explanation is this novel: a mirror game about plagiarism, admiration, envy, jealousy, chance, death. And the police.
