Nobody against nobody, by Juan Bonilla

It must be tiring to restart a novel. Still being one John Bonilla. It should be something like thinking that the original has been lost and that it should be started from scratch, with the mental notes and the outline of a script blurred in all its details. And yet it also has a fascinating point of challenge when the company arises many years later, with what a reunion with oneself supposes ...

Simón Cárdenas, an eternal PhD student in Philosophy, survives badly than well in Seville designing the crossword page for a local newspaper while trying to carry out his thesis on the so-called “Alonso Quijano Syndrome”. One day, on the eve of the city's big festival - Holy Week - he receives a strange call urging him to introduce, in his next Sunday crossword, a word that seems to respond to a code message. And everything indicates that, what at first seems like a joke, is connected with a series of events organized throughout the city with the aim of sabotaging the festivities and sowing hysteria in the streets in full early morning. With the help of María, he will embark on a series of investigations to find out who is behind him.

Twenty-five years after the publication of Nobody knows nobody, Juan Bonilla has written Nobody against nobody from scratch with the aim of giving readers the definitive version of that story that marked an entire generation and catapulted it as one of the great promises of contemporary fiction. The result is a completely new novel by a writer in the best moment of his career, after winning the National Narrative Prize, full of humor and who knows how to parody from the most popular codes (detective novels, blockbuster thriller ...) to high culture (metafiction).
