Vuelve el ingenio de Mills con el diario divertido y surrealista de un neurtico brillante.

En La vida a ratos el lector es tan protagonista como el narrador, porque descubre en secreto un relato que, en la ficcin, no ha sido creado para ser conocido por nadie ms que aquel que lo escribe.

Es el diario de ms de tres aos de vida de un personaje -curiosamente tambin llamado Juan Jos Mills-, que se muestra tan libre, tan neurtico, y divertido, e irnico e hipocondriaco como solo nos mostramos cuando nadie nos ve. Las visitas a la psicoanalista, el taller de escritura, los paseos por una ciudad que no deja de colocarle ante situaciones sorpresivas, la familia, los amigos… Todo es normal, todo parece anodino hasta que, al volver una esquina de la realidad, aparece lo extraordinario, lo surrealista. Y nos deslumbra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Mills’s wit returns in this amusing and surreal diary of a brilliant neurotic.

In Life in Intervals, the reader is just as much a protagonist as the narrator, discovering in secret a story that, within the fiction, was never meant to be known by anyone other than the one who writes it.

It is the diary of more than three years in the life of a character–curiously also named Juan Jos Mills–who appears as free, as neurotic, and as funny, ironic, and hypochondriacal as we allow ourselves to be only when no one is watching. Visits to the psychoanalyst, a writing workshop, walks through a city that constantly places him in unexpected situations, family, friends… Everything is ordinary, everything seems banal, until, upon turning a corner of reality, the extraordinary and the surreal suddenly appear. And they dazzle us.
