About the Book

Suicidios como mecanismos de autoayuda. Suicidios con sabor a mango. Suicidios por la indolencia ante las cuitas amorosas profesadas a un famoso llamado Alejandro Sanz. Suicidios en la Pequeña Habana; allí en donde la mordacidad es el único látigo que conocen los torturadores. Suicidios de reputación. Suicidios políticos. Suicidios gatunos. Y finalmente: suicidios en masa.

La sátira y la parodia parecen ser las armas con las que Manuel Adrián López quiere desarmarnos esta vez. De Miami a La Habana, sus suicidas recrean las ceremonias funerales salpicadas de intrigas y escándalos que rematan a los muertos (suicidas o no). Son personajes rocambolescos, tatuados mil veces por la saña de sus prójimos antes que por sus propias dagas que los conducen, gustosos, al suspiro final.

"Temporada para suicidios" supone un antes y un después en la trayectoria de Manuel Adrián López, marca un punto de inflexión narrativo donde deja latente con sutil desgarro, fina ironía y aparente sarcasmo, ese exorcismo narrativo necesario para seguir creando mundos y personajes delirantes pero a la vez muy familiares para muchos. En estos suicidios narrativos encontraran doce maneras de acabar con la existencia humana, cuando esta es insoportable por la mediocridad circundante. Estamos ante un ejercicio narrativo de gran talento, en el que los personajes y las distintas historias se visten de humor, decepción, inquietud y hasta un miedo fantástico, que recuerda a la maestría de Lovecraft. Desconozco si como decía Balzac: "cada suicidio es un poema sublime de melancolía", lo que sí sé es que estamos delante de un conjunto de oportunidades donde el autor ha zanjado con sus cuentos su propia melancolía.
