Synopsis of El hombre de mazapán

«El hombre de mazapán» is the contemporary fiction novel by J.P. Donleavy, published by Edhasa in hardback (448 pages, in Spanish).

Sebastian, nicknamed the Gingerbread Man, is an Irish-American, seductive and carousing, who scrapes by between bars and pawnshops. With lyrical, obscene yet tender prose, Donleavy portrays this antihero as he pursues fortune and fame, mocking the world and himself, as fragile as the sweet that gives him his name.

First novel by J.P. Donleavy; original title The Ginger Man (1955); translation by María García Orozco; Edhasa Literaria; finalist for the National Book Award in 1959.

For readers of contemporary fiction who enjoy the acid humor and irreverent antiheroes of classic twentieth-century narrative.
