About the Book

Johnny is rocker among the greats who decided to retire to a deserted Polynesian island when the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's, convinced that he could never top that. However, a music critic named George Saw has decided to go find him and convince him to return to civilization so fans can hear him once again. He even has the idea to get a tribute album together with Springsteen, McCartney, Sting, Dylan, and all the other greats. But Johnny has been retired for so many years and New York is not the same city he knew. How can a dinosaur like him survive?

Johnny es un tipo legal, un rockero entre los grandes a quien se le ocurrió la peregrina idea de retirarse a una isla desierta en la Polinesia cuando los Beatles sacaron el Sgt Pepper's, convencido de que jamás podría superar algo igual. A su encuentro acude un crítico musical llamado George Saw que se ha propuesto sacar a Johnny del olvido. Pretende ir a buscarlo hasta su retiro y traerle de nuevo a la civilización para que la gente pueda volver a escucharlo. Y para ello tiene la peregrina idea de llamar a todas las celebridades de la música para editar un disco homenaje, así que recurre a Springsteen, a McCartner, a Sting, a Dylan y al resto del Olimpo musical para crear lo que ha de ser el acontecimiento más importante de la historia del rock. Pero Johnny lleva demasiados años retirado, y ni Nueva York es la misma ciudad que conoció, ni el rock ha dejado de evolucionar. Hasta el mismo Dylan se ha convertido al cristianismo. ¿Cómo puede sobrevivir un dinosaurio en un lugar así?

"Con esta reedición de la novela, veintitrés años después, recupero no solo un clásico de mi obra literaria, sino una historia a la que quiero especialmente. Lo que vas a leer a continuación es, además, el texto original, sin ningún cambio. Hubiera sido imposible adecuar la historia al presente. Y absurdo. Así era la vida, así era la música, así era todo a mitad de los años noventa. Y, cómo no, así era el Nueva York de la novela, tan personaje como los protagonistas humanos de ella." Jordi Sierra i Fabra
