Matando dinosaurios con tirachinas

Synopsis of Matando dinosaurios con tirachinas

«Matando dinosaurios con tirachinas» is the novel by Pedro Maestre, published by Destino in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).

At twenty-five, with a degree in Philology he never practised, the narrator moves to Alcoy with his girlfriend while facing adult life and conscientious objection. His overprotective family weighs on him, reminding him of the bespectacled child he once was; he takes refuge in the memory of his grandfather and in writing. A monologue of short sentences and raw lyricism bids farewell to youthful illusions.

Pedro Maestre (Alicante, 1967) won the Premio Nadal 1996 with the novel «Matando dinosaurios con tirachinas».
