Synopsis
Nadie puede imaginar hasta qué punto los tiempos convulsos son capaces de convertirnos en quienes ni siquiera imaginamos que podríamos llegar a ser. Hombres desnudos es una novela sobre el presente que estamos viviendo, donde hombres treintañeros pierden su trabajo y pueden acabar haciendo estriptis en un club, y donde cada vez más mujeres priman su carrera profesional sobre cualquier compromiso sentimental o familiar. En esta historia, esos hombres y esas mujeres entran en contacto y en colisión, y lo harán con unas consecuencias imprevisibles. Sexo, amistad, inocencia y maldad en una combinación tan armónica como desasosegante.
