Males arts
Empúries, 2013 | Dark Arts
With a dynamic plot and fresh language, Males arts gives an accurate account of a society eager for and dazzled by success, allowing itself to fall into the trap set by the illusions of a freak period. A recent past that has very quickly been left behind.
“Gasull has built a Kafkaesque castle through which his leading character roams: Miquel, an architect who has fallen prey to the crisis and the protagonist of a fast-paced and witty novel set in the here and now.” Anna M. Gil, La Vanguardia
“A writer’s sharp debut about the destruction left by a time of irresponsibility.” Josep Lambies, Time Out
“Males arts is not an account of the wheeling and dealing of real estate developers at the height of the bricks-and-mortar frenzy, but rather a portrait of the personal lives of its protagonists and the world around them at a very particular moment in our recent past.” Jordi Vilarrodà, El 9Nou
“I recommend this novel, which throws the reader headlong into a world of luxury and back-stabbing, an engrossing portrait of a society in thrall to success and the lure of a quick buck." Silvia Cantos, silviacantos.blogspot.com.es
“A fast-paced tale, told at a gallop. A moral novel, set at the dawn of the 21st century, an indictment of the craving for luxury and all its trappings brought about by corruption in all its guises, deftly handled by the author.” Enric Tubert
“A splendid first outing in noir fiction.” Mucho más que un libro blog
