Pau is one of those gay men you see on every corner in Madrid. In his thirties, with a precarious job,
a tiny flat, and a group of friends that saves him from loneliness. A typical gay man… or maybe not so much.
Between drunken nights, sexual encounters (some glorious, others disastrous), and dates that leave a mark,
Pau navigates a city that never stops. His work conflicts, shared laughter, endless dancing,
and romantic stumbles paint a sharp and tender portrait of a generation trying to survive while seeking to love
and be loved.
Maricón de libro is an urban, funny, and straightforward novel, where Quico Marco debuts with a
bold and honest voice. A story to laugh, be moved, and stop judging — and judging yourself — in a Madrid full of
contradictions, handsome men, tears, and friendship.
