The publisher Efe Eme recovers the best novel by a special category writer. A cult writer. “'hen I read or hear this mantra repeated ad nauseam, I get on my guard. It is an elegant way of affirming a reality that is not at all gratifying: not even God reads it. It's that clear'
The list of cult authors who died in the most shameful misery would take up more pages than the useless eight-hundred-page books that proliferate so much in the market. One of those cult writers is Raúl Núñez.
In Buenos Aires in 1946, he hung in the beat paradises of the 60's, drank all the poetry of Allen Ginsberg and company and wrote his own, which I am telling you right here is absolutely essential. All of it is published in a 2008 volume: ‘Marijuana para los pájaros.’
In 1979, in the legendary Star Books publishing house ‘Derrama whisky sobre tu amigo muerto’ was published. Later, in 1984, he published what is his best-known novel: ‘Sinatra.’ Two years later, also in Anagrama, he published ‘La rubia del bar.’ And finally, in 1989, his fourth and last novel, ‘A solas con Betty Boop,’ was published by Laia. In between, Midons published ‘El aullido del mudo,’ the texts Raúl Nuñez had been publishing for years in the Valencian Cartelera Turia.
