El rey del chorizo

Spiky was promised a PhD, a nice British accent, and a better future than his parents. So far, all he's managed to land is a run-down sausage stall at a market in England. And that's not so bad. Set against the post-apocalyptic backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis, *The Sausage King* is a book about people fighting tooth and nail against loneliness, lack of opportunity, and stereotypes. Somewhere between romantic comedy and social commentary, Javier Jiménez Cuadros raises a torrential, comical, and tender voice that desperately questions how to connect with others when the world seems to be falling apart. That, and, of course, how to sell a sausage.
