Synopsis "Justo Antes del Final / Right Before the End (in Spanish)"

De vuelta al territorio autobiográfico, Emiliano Monge ha conseguido en esta nueva novela algo que parecía imposible: una novela que es un retrato a la vez que un mural; el retrato de una madre y el mural del mundo en que vivimos. Esta es la historia de una mujer que se enfrentó a su tiempo y a su mundo, pero es también la historia de ese tiempo y de ese mundo: la segunda mitad del siglo XX y las primeras décadas del siglo en el que estamos. En Justo antes del final, la vida de la protagonista, una vida marcada por la invisibilidad, la enfermedad, la locura y las violencias, pero también por la resiliencia, la voluntad, los afectos y el cuidado de sí y de los otros, entra en tensión con algunos de los grandes acontecimientos de la vida pública: la llegada de la píldora anticonceptiva, la invención de la cámara instantánea, el desarrollo de tratamientos para las enfermedades mentales, la carrera espacial y la carrera por la prótesis auditiva perfecta, el descubrimiento de la antimateria, el diagnóstico del espectro Asperger, las investigaciones para alargar la vida, el protocolo de Kioto... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Emiliano Monge has achieved in his new novel something that seemed impossible: Writing an autobiographical book that is both a portrait and a mural; the portrait of a mother and the mural of the world we live in. This is the story of a woman that challenged her time and the world. But it is also the story of such a time and such a world--the second half of the twentieth century and the first decades of the twenty-first. In Right Before the End, the protagonist's life--a life marked by invisibility, sickness, insanity, and violence, but also by resilience, personal will, affections, and the care for oneself and others--comes into conflict with some of the greatest events in public life: the rise of the birth-control pill, the invention of the instant camera, the development of treatments for mental illnesses, the space race and the race for the perfect hearing prosthesis, the discovery of antimatter, the diagnosis of Asperger's spectrum disorders, research to prolong life, Kyoto's protocol...
