«Porque sí» is the crime novel by Daniel Glattauer, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (336 pages, in Spanish).
A mild-mannered man from the narrator's circle shoots a stranger in a bar without any argument; he confesses the crime and admits it was premeditated, but announces he will not reveal the motive until twenty years later. The novel asks the reader whether they would be able to wait that long to understand an apparently gratuitous crime.
Originally published in German as «Darum» (2002). Adapted into a film in 2009 by Harald Sicheritz. Translation by Alicia Gómez Elizondo.
Aimed at the general public, with particular appeal for those seeking suspense thrillers and crimes without immediate explanation.
Daniel Glattauer is an Austrian writer and former journalist. He was born in Vienna, where he still lives and works. A former regular columnist for Der Standard, a national daily newspaper, he is best known for his dialogic epistolary novel Gut gegen Nordwind and its sequel Every Seventh Wave .
