Martín descubre que Villabona era el antiguo inquilino de su apartamento y que su desaparición se debe a algo fuera de lo común. A partir de entonces se inmiscuye en una trama que pone en riesgo su apacible vida de estudiante.

About the author

Antonio García Ángel

16 books31 followers
“My main objective in life is to write,” declares Antonio García Ángel. With only one novel to his credit, the 36-year-old author is considered one of Colombia’s best young writers. Much to his delight, he will be working with his literary hero, fellow South America, Mario Vargas Llosa. “Vargas Llosa has already had a fundamental influence on my work,” says García Ángel whose style echoes that of his Peruvian mentor.

García Ángel’s talent for writing was first recognised at Bogotá’s Pontificia Universidad Javeriana where he received degrees in both literature and communications. Since then, he has taught at the university (1998-2001), worked as a writer and host for Caracol Television, produced two documentaries, written television scripts and articles, and, for the past year, served as an editor of SoHo magazine. He also found time to fulfil his ambition to write his first novel – a thriller set in Bogotá.
Humour and Intrigue

Captivating from the first page, the highly acclaimed and best-selling book – Su casa es mi casa (Your House is My House) – published in 2001, combines humour and intrigue in the gripping story of a university student who receives a mysterious package addressed to a former tenant of his flat. Through the use of colloquial and evocative language, García Ángel brings his characters vividly to life and captures the essence of Bogotá’s urban landscape.
A Second Novel

García Ángel intends to continue writing his second novel during the mentoring year. “My work with Vargas Llosa will help me define my own style and find the most personal and appropriate voice in which I want to write,” he says.

¿De que trata?: Se trata sobre como la vida no está asegurada y como todo puede pasar de un momento a otro. Un estudiante se pasa a vivir a un apartamento nuevo, lo que no sabe es que eso mismo va a hacer que su vida de un giro y hasta la vida de sus amigos y el mismo se encuentra en peligro.

Puntos destacables: La historia tiene unos puntos y una escritura demasiado buena como para entender la historia y engancharse con la misma. Tiene puntos de la vida cotidiana y te hace pensar que eso mismo puede ocurrirte.

Razón de la calificación: Es una lectura fresca y que fluye con cada palabra y página. Historia interesante y atrayente.
