«El ladrón de chicles» is the contemporary fiction novel by Douglas Coupland, published by El Aleph Editores in paperback (288 pages, in Spanish).
Roger, divorced, works in an office supplies warehouse and secretly writes a novel, Glove Pond. When his colleague Bethany, gothic and fascinated by death, discovers it, an epistolary relationship arises between them. The plot intersects with fiction: a marriage in crisis awaits the visit of an apparently perfect couple.
Translation by Bruno Menéndez Rodríguez. Included in the Modernos y Clásicos collection from El Aleph.
For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate the ironic and compassionate portrayal of lonely characters.
