«Su pasatiempo favorito» is the satirical novel by William Gaddis published by Sexto Piso in paperback, with 696 pages, in Spanish.
Oscar Crease, a university professor and failed playwright, discovers that a Hollywood producer has plagiarized one of his scripts and decides to sue. From that lawsuit, the book becomes a labyrinth of absurd litigations that portrays the American legal system and the fever for money, with humor as acerbic as it is disillusioned.
Fourth and final novel published during Gaddis's lifetime, originally appearing in 1994 as «A Frolic of His Own»; translation by Flora Casas. Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction.
Extensive work aimed at readers of social satire and contemporary American literature.
