«El mascador de papel» is the dystopian science fiction novel by Liz Jensen, published by Tusquets Editores in the Andanzas collection in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
On the artificial island of Atlantica, created as the planet's dumping ground and run like a hypermarket, marketing has replaced politics and citizens are treated as customers. Harvey Kidd, an orphan and fraudster who considers himself a defective product, ends up as the scapegoat for the ills of that supposedly utopian society and is imprisoned on a prison ship, where he spends his time creating papier-mâché figures.
Translated into Spanish by Vicente Campos. The novel belongs to the Andanzas collection from Tusquets, where it is number 521.
Aimed at readers of contemporary fiction and social satire, with a dystopian approach close to that of Orwell or Swift.
Liz Jensen is an English novelist living in Copenhagen, Denmark.
