«Maldito seas, Roque Waterfall» is the humor novel by Jorge Parrondo, published by Siruela in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
After an asthma crisis at forty, Roque Waterfall decides to change his habits and find a partner, and meets Gladys McAlister. Meanwhile, an Austrian intellectual arrives in Los Angeles to film a documentary about an unproductive man and finds in Roque the ideal subject: an aspiring cursed writer hardened by drugs, prostitution and bars. Parrondo composes a parody of American society with eccentric characters who bear their monsters in the age of anxiety.

For readers of contemporary fiction who enjoy social satire and humor.
