Una satírica distopía sobre el elitismo y la mercantilización del talento.«Una sátira mordaz que muestra el dinero, la avaricia y el elitismo estadounidenses».Sunday IndependentLos alumnos más brilla

El dúo más viral de las redes sociales presenta un retrato brillante y políticamente incorrecto de la sociedad actual: la sátira que España no sabía que necesitaba.¿Se puede pedir un hermanito por Glovo si eres de Pozuelo y no quieres mancharte? ¿Cuantos siglos de sueldo integro necesita un joven para pagar la entrada de un zulo en Madrid? ¿Y si una madre harta descubriera que puede reventar la cabeza de su marido usando telequinesis y un botellin de cerveza?En Dos besitos, el duo comico ALPILPIL, formado por Adrian Melero y Lucas Pulido, no deja titere con cabeza. Con la precision de un bisturi y una dosis letal de mala leche, esta antologia disecciona el esperpento de la España contemporanea. Por sus paginas desfilan niños pijos comprados a plazos, estrellas del pop que trivializan guerras por likes, perros que desmontan farsas matrimoniales, y rentistas que sueñan con esclavizar a sus inquilinos.Esto no es solo un libro; es un coctel molotov de humor acido lanzado contra la fachada del postureo, el clasismo y la masculinidad toxica. Una satira voraz, punk y dolorosamente lucida para quienes saben que, cuando la realidad supera a la ficcion, lo unico que nos queda es soltar una carcajada salvaje mientras todo colapsa. Dos besitos y mucha suerte.

Dennis Orphen is a young, clever novelist with a keen eye for a good story. This time, however, his material is drawn from the romantic woes of his closest friend, Effie Callingham. More than a decade earlier, Effies husband-the superstar writer Andrew Callingham-abandoned her for a younger, prettier woman. In the years since, Effie has stubbornly defended his reputation, clinging to the desperate hope that he might one day come to his senses and return.When Denniss novel is published, their friendship is put to the test. In his thinly veiled portrait, Effies private pain is exposed to a scandal-hungry literary society, while Andrew is unmasked as a womanising egoist. Meanwhile, Dennis finds himself entangled in romantic troubles of his own, locked in an uneasy relationship with Corinne, a married woman whose presence provokes both longing and jealousy.Together, Dennis and Effie are forced to confront unpalatable truths about themselves in this immensely entertaining yet deeply poignant satire, set in the seedy underbelly of New York society, from brandy-drenched nightclubs to cab-lined curbs.
