by Pablo Simonetti (Author)

La última novela de Pablo Simonetti, un autor que «conquista multitudes (El Mercurio). El enfrentamiento de un hombre con su historia, su clase y su sexualidad.

«Las escenas queman porque están llenas de verdad, tristeza, dolor . --Alberto Fuguet


«Simonetti cultiva las palabras con maestría: allí donde había silencio y aridez brotan las flores más conmovedoras . --Jaime Bayly

«En ese sofá quedó tendido, desconcertado y exánime uno de los hombres que no fui .

A través de una serie de encuentros con personas que fueron parte de su pasado, el narrador de Los hombres que no fui se enfrenta a su memoria, a sus decisiones y a las derivas que ha ido tomando su vida, dando paso al retrato de «un mundo de formas bellas, tiránicas e infructuosas, de reglas inculcadas que podían llegar a ser mortales . Con una mirada esclarecedora, conjugando melancolía y liberación, Pablo Simonetti escribe sobre las vidas posibles que vamos abandonando con cada una de nuestras decisiones, sobre la pertenencia y la exclusión, con el trasfondo de un Santiago de Chile en llamas que le permitirá al protagonista dejar el pasado definitivamente atrás.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The latest novel by Pablo Simonetti, an author who "charms the masses" (El Mercurio Newspaper). This is the story of a man who comes face to face with his history, his social class, and his sexuality.

"On that sofa, one of the men I was never able to become, was left bare, unsettled, and lifeless."

Through a series of encounters with people who were part of his past, the narrator in The Men I Was Never Able to Become confronts his memory, his past decisions, and the paths his life has taken, giving way to a portrait of indoctrinated rules that could become deadly. With an enlightening look, combining melancholy and liberation, Pablo Simonetti writes about the possible lives that we abandoned with each one of our life decisions; about belonging and exclusion; set against the background of a burning Santiago de Chile that will allow the protagonist to leave the past behind where it belongs.

"The scenes sting because they are full of truth, sadness, and pain." --Alberto Fuguet

"Simonetti gathers words masterfully: where there was silence and drought, the most moving flowers now sprout." --Jaime Bayly
