Caracol Beach

by ELISEO ALBERTO

Caracol Beach es una novela espléndida y terrible, un mosaico de impecable traza, donde cada situación encaja en todo un juego de sentimientos y donde nada, a fin de cuentas, es inevitable. Una novela, ganadora del Premio Alfaguara de novela 1998, que trata sobre la locura, el miedo, el perdón y la muerte. Es un sábado del mes de junio, y Beto Milanés, emigrante de origen cubano, sale a buscar a alguien que lo mate. Al frente de la comisaría está un sargento calvo y obeso, que ha decidido pedirle perdón a su único hijo, Mandy, un travestí que vive con un modista armenio. El fantasma de una pianista vuela de un lado a otro, como una mariposa nocturna, tratando de salvar a su hija. Un oscuro profesor de literatura se pasa la noche en un bar, conversando con la mujer más linda del mundo. Los orishas africanos descienden del Olimpo y acuden a la cita son sus tambores. Tres muchachos han ido por cerveza a un supermercado, para seguir la fiesta, y se cruzan en la autopista con el cubano que quiere una tumba. Ha estado lloviendo, hay luna, alguien ha descerebrado a un perro contra un muro. Caracol Beach es una tragedia griega a ritmo de rock and roll.Una obra excepcional.
