THE PAIN OF OTHERS
Miguel Angel Hernandez
Anagram | 2018
Miguel Ángel Hernández is a writer and university professor of Art History. He has also had his musical adventures (Let's remember Bartleby Club with the DJ and musician Angel Pop). But Michelangelo was also a child and lived things that deserved to be told.. Something happened to Michelangelo that was etched in his life.: in 1995 His best friend killed his sister and took his own life by jumping off a ravine. A story full of speculation, doubts and contradictions in your head. His best friend had done something horrible, but he was his friend of trust and mischief, with whom he felt free living in rural Spain. A story that he had to tell from his perspective as a child and the vision of today's adult., a book that intertwines in its chapters the memory of the past with the investigation of the case in the present and that recalls life in the Murcian orchard with his parents and siblings. Autobiographical and with a tremendously magnetic story.
