Publishers Weekly "Top 10 Books of the Year" selection From one of
Spain's most original authors comes a wild, absurdist story about a
lonely man's misguided attempts to connect Laid off from his job,
Damian Lobo obsessively imagines himself as a celebrity being
interviewed on TV. After committing an act of petty theft at an
antiques market, he finds himself trapped inside a wardrobe and
delivered to the seemingly idyllic home of a husband, wife, and
their internet-addicted teenage daughter. There, he sneaks from the
shadows to serve as an invisible butler, becoming deeply and
disastrously involved with his unknowing host family. Every thread
of the plot is ingeniously tied together, creating a potent
admixture of parable, love story, and thriller. Millas masterfully
reveals the everyday as innately surreal as he renders the
unbelievable tangible and the trivial fantastical, and full of dark
humor.
