We receive the writer Jesús Carrasco, He will tell us about his new novel “The Detail” (Six Barral). In conversation with Pepe Miralles.
About the book:
They have been living as a couple for twenty-three years. They have two children, two mortgages, a big car and too much accumulated fatigue. Hoping to liven up the relationship, He decides to have a romantic detail with her by giving her a surprise trip to Novo Mesto, the picturesque Slovenian city where they had their first kiss. But when the appointed day arrives, things do not happen as he had imagined..
The detail offers a scathing image of an era dominated by haste and lack of attention and confronts it with a relationship that, after years of living together, should rely on precisely the opposite: the slow and conscious maturation of a love built from care, listening and involvement.
Jesús Carrasco continues exploring the conflicts of domestic life, this time entering the heart of a couple in which a minimal gesture will end up becoming a decisive test.. And he does it with his usual precision in the use of language to which he adds a sense of humor as fine as it is incisive., thus confirming its ability to transform everyday life into a territory of moral and literary revelation..
