«La gran pesquisa» is the humorous satirical novel by Tom Sharpe, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (326 pages, in Spanish).
Frederick Frensic, a London literary agent, receives a manuscript with all the ingredients of success, but its author demands anonymity. To get around this, he involves Piper, a frustrated writer, and the plot becomes a satire of the publishing world between London and the United States, with unscrupulous editors, frauds, fires and religious excesses.
It belongs to Anagrama's Contraseñas collection (number 145). Translation by Mónica Martín Berdagué. Original English: The Great Pursuit (1977).
For those who enjoy satirical comedy and wild mix-ups set in the publishing world.
Thomas Ridley Sharpe was an English satirical novelist, best known for his Wilt series, as well as Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape, all three of which were adapted for television.
