"a vampire"

A vampire , Martín Piñol, ed. More Timun, 2011

Los Angeles. Costales has a seemingly easy job, caring for a child to something posh Barcelona did not miss anything while fulfilling his dream of studying film. Costales kills time meeting people, attending shoots, spying on the girl next door and little else. Until one day the boy (not a child, but a strapping young man) disappears, and without wanting anything to deserve it, Costales is immersed in a chapter 24 terrorists just changing moviegoers Interncional by vampires. And stress and hosts, tension, hosts and gross humor. New novel

Martín Piñol. And that's always good news. Because you know that at least you will find a well-written novel and fun. After the resounding and absolute masterpiece that is that wonder of iron dragons (and if it was an American novel and would have Pixar made a movie and want, want, want dolls and GEPEC Gulman, and if French would have given some Goncourt Piñol had left them) and I never tire of recommending and you have to read if you or another if they flatter yourselves reading good literature, Piñol back with a piece of humor for adults. And he points to the vampiric fashion, but moving love stories (although there is one and pretty) and focusing on action, laughter and reference.

Because this novel is a paradise for thirty-something culturally dispersed (also known as Geek of balls). DC, Marvel, TV series, movies of the eighties, music (less) etc. All the service history. Come on, that this novel is a small dictionary of geek thirties. These references are explicit in some cases, some are parodies (Frank Castillo and subtlety I pass by ...) and some are, say, environmental. Because A vampire takes us straight to the cinema of the eighties with, and this is a very personal impression, that jewel of Fright Night to the head (the face of vampires led me here at once), a story vampire with a lot of action, humor and the weight of the cinematic tradition as a flag. Although Piñol as a good writer played with marked cards, and obscures some of us references or main inspirations (He notes, for example) or that point much like the first adventure of that disturbing character named Ripley Patricia Highsmith.

The characters are well cared for, though one is nothing more than an excuse for a good couple of jokes. Costales serves a trilogy and what you want to take. De drive is pathetic and can not hide the geek within. The vampires are bad and Chung. The Adolecedor deserves a spin-off for himself and the couple provides one of the best moments in the novel. And this pair of Catalans lost in Los Angeles called Piñol and Natalia that could make your own sit-com. And the city. Character more known and unknown corners. The novel also serves as a brief guide to visit the city (novel freak + dictionary + Guide + laughter insured and all fourteen euros for nothing).

The novel is well written and funny. It has very good jokes, parodies very well developed and there is no page where the reader does not let go a smile, a giggle of those who do not hear me the meter series and a good pair of laughter. And the joke of the heart, which is burrez and anthology. Something negative? Maybe I've missed more shoring up the structure and that on occasion seemed to rely too much on the joke or reference. But Pecato minutes before a work fun, fresh, exciting, agile, donkey and very refreshing.

Y, Piñol, godfather,

1. Is there a prize for which he has caught all the references without using the glossary?
2. Like I said, I know who is Deadshot and what is the Suicide Squad. I have the comics at home. Ostrader got a funny series, fast, fresh, violent and mythical.
