"Juan José Millás is the master of a fantastical and highly personal universe."-J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País
"Reality must be something else, maybe something worse, more evil and monstruous; in sum, like the raspy breathing of the invisible man I also am." A senior executive is fired from his job and decides to reinvent himself, with imagination as his only guide. From then on, and with infinite sarcasm, he approaches every mundane fact of life as if it were a fantastic adventure. The protagonist of Millás's novel creates his own world, inhabiting it sometimes as himself and sometimes in the guise of other personas who behave with the insolence and conviction born of the most well-reasoned insanity. A dizzying tale of encounters and disenchantment with love, solitude, sex, friendship, life and, definitely, death. Much more than a novel, Foolish, Dead, Bastard, and Invisible is also a brilliantly and lucidly crafted social critique.

Una genial crítica social, hilvanada en un lenguaje lúcido y brillante
«Juan José Millás es dueño de un territorio fantástico de incuestionable personalidad . --J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, El País
«La realidad debe ser otra cosa, a lo mejor otra cosa peor, más mala, algo atroz, en fin, como la respiración un poco agónica del hombre invisible que también soy yo .
