El mago David

A man receives an invitation to a magic show. Despite hating illusions, he decides to attend because he hopes to run into the great love of his youth. However, what begins as a ridiculous and disconcerting performance ends up becoming an event that forces the protagonist to reconsider all his convictions and even his very existence. The Magician David is a novel about the disappointments of adult life and the portrait of a wounded, cynical, and disillusioned character. But it ultimately becomes a reflection on literature, that useless yet essential magic that, with its tricks and lies, reveals the truth of who we are.
