«La gran pesquisa» is Tom Sharpe's satirical novel, published in 1993 by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (378 pages, in Spanish).
Frederick Frensic, a London literary agent, receives an anonymous manuscript with every sign of success, but the author demands his identity be hidden. With Sonia Futtle he turns to aspiring writer Peter Piper to stand in for him on a tour of the United States. The plan unleashes misunderstandings and frauds in a satire of the publishing world.
Translated from the English by Mónica Martín Berdagué; the original work, The Great Pursuit, was published in 1977.
A read for those who enjoy British humour and satire on the publishing world.
Thomas Ridley Sharpe was an English satirical novelist, best known for his Wilt series, as well as Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape, all three of which were adapted for television.
