«El libro de los vicios» is the fiction book by Adam Soboczynski, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
In twenty-nine chapters and with a handful of characters who traverse this "almost novel", the author offers an acerbic view of the modern world: a past of smokers in bars and unapologetic meals against a present of prohibitions, healthy living, photocopied cities and the triumph of the ecological. Soboczynski champions the intimate, the superfluous and the figure of the flâneur, and attacks asceticism, self-discipline and the obsession with health, always with humour and sarcasm.
The work belongs to the Panorama de narrativas collection, where it occupies number 839. Originally published as «Glänzende Zeiten», it was translated into Spanish by Francesc Rovira Faixa.
Recommended for readers of essays and ironic fiction who enjoy cultural criticism and intelligent provocations about contemporary life.
