«Juegos de la edad tardía» is the novel by Luis Landero, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (469 pages, in Spanish).
Gregorio Olías, a grey office worker who buried his youthful dreams, strikes up a telephone friendship with Gil, a modest man who venerates the past. Together they imagine Faroni, a cultured, attractive and daring character, though a caricature of the bohemian artist. The shared fiction becomes a dangerous game from which Gregorio cannot escape.

For readers of Spanish fiction who value the interplay between reality and fiction, with irony and tenderness.
