An original, irreverent and witty novel by one of the most brilliant authors of the current Catalan narrative.
This is a Barcelona story told by a God in low hours that seeks the complicity of the reader to present Mr. Folch, a man born in 1942 in highly peculiar conditions and who is graceful with superhuman powers.
Bastard son of a despotic and unscrupulous bourgeois, Mr. Folch discovers that he has unusual powers. However, he does not take advantage of them the way his mentor and father in the shade, God, would like. Mr. Folch comes into contact with spiritualist circles and also with the clandestine struggle against dictator Franco. His life takes a turn when, as if he was a superhero, he feels called to save the city and the country.
Military, prostitutes, Wagnerians, gypsies, workers and maids, Mr. Folch's panorama seems far from victory, but he will make this corner of the world a little better.
The first novel about the civil postwar period in Catalonia that does not talk about either the postwar period or Catalonia.
