LIZARD TAIL, JERO GARCÍA

The popular Jero García makes his debut as a storyteller with a tough, stark, and direct tale, like a good punch on the bullring. It's the story of how sport can change your luck when fate has dealt you only bad cards. "Lizard Tail. Nobody remembered who had given him that nickname, but it suited him perfectly. Because he was pure energy. He didn't understand how the others at school managed to sit still and be quiet. When he tried, his mind raced. And the feeling of his brain spinning a mile a minute was worse than the blows. That's why Cola had learned that the only way to get some peace was by making war. And that, in a neighborhood like his, where the law of the strongest prevailed, wasn't so bad after all." Carabanchel Bajo, late seventies and early eighties. A landscape under construction. A hostile environment. Children playing in the street among rubble and syringes. Delinquent teenagers. Mischief and delinquency. Bad decisions. And a young man named Cola, who finds in boxing a way to quench his thirst for danger. A moving and exciting novel that you won't be able to put down.
