In his first novel, just a succession of short stories about Javier Giner (Barakaldo, 1977) we presents a set of characters who are shipwrecked on a life that did not want or have failed to live them otherwise.
Somewhere between New York and Madrid, to an intercontinental flight away develop a set of stories that do not have a lot of copies but that overwhelm humanity. The humanity of the losers, those who know they can never win.
Are your names? Their names do not matter. Is a lover waiting in a decrepit hotel, is a wanderer who spends his last coins on a call that returns light to your life, a university professor who prepared a feast to celebrate a divorce from her best friend is a reporter ' Star 'that is hosted in the same hotel room where he stayed a long time ago, hoping to relive a moment that marked his life, is an old woman who does not hesitate to stay with a stranger to ease their loneliness; a friend tells another a gathering of the most insignificant, or perhaps not, is a husband writes a love letter to his dead wife, is a child who takes revenge on her mother who abandoned him as a child, the cruellest way possible ... They are strange creatures, bizarre and, at the same time nearby. Painfully close.
They try to find happiness, but eventually lost in their own miseries. Everyone lies to feel safe, but that lie just by consuming them, and when it is too late, try to start again. But there are always second chances.
'Finger in the heart' is a novel, patchwork, vital moments, which begins with a plane crash where two unknown speakers first and last time and ends in a taxi through the cold night in Madrid, twenty years later.
Some of his players have failed to reach this point. They are among the few survivors of a world in ruins.
Are your names? Their names do not matter.

That of being not seen, or heard and has never existed and will exist until it is able to regain the power to stop other to be meaningless.
