Qué hacemos con los domingos por la tarde : Apuntes sobre la vida adulta

If no one escapes the turbulence of adolescence, neither does anyone escape facing adulthood as a learning process we arrive at without a manual. With a gift for bringing to light both the paradoxes of daily life and the contradictions of our times, Ignacio Peyró's writing addresses in these pages, with a humor that doesn't mask its depth, those big themes that occupy us when life starts to get serious: love and heartbreak, to be or not to be parents, how to be children, to celebrate and give thanks, and even to weather that melancholy that awaits us, lurking, every Sunday afternoon. In short, those perplexities that make living not always easy, but at the very least, entertaining. Known as an essential voice in nonfiction in our language, the author reveals himself in this collection of columns as a worthy successor to that tradition of Spanish essay writing so adept at capturing high literature in a concise format. A mixture of rawness and sweetness, piety and acidity, nerve and grace, What Do We Do with Sunday Afternoons thus becomes one of those books capable of making us enjoy any page we open, with a reading that is a refined cultural experience.
