«La comedia salvaje» is the satirical novel by José R. Ovejero, published by Alfaguara in paperback (408 pages, in Spanish).
Benjamín receives the mission to stop the Spanish Civil War and travels through a country headed for destruction, among absurd characters and delirious episodes that cast doubt on his sanity; Julia brings him back to reality. It mixes realism and fantasy with irony, and is a reflection on all wars and the usefulness of literature.
For readers of historical fiction and satirical novels, with an interest in the Spanish Civil War and in works that mix reality and absurdity.
