Ambientada en un futuro inmediato en el que la literatura ha desaparecido de la sociedad, y aunando suspense y autoficción , narrativa minimalista y estilo vigoroso, Alabanza es la obra más lograda y personal de Alberto Olmos, una apasionante reivindicación de la literatura que devuelve el protagonismo al lector.
«No estoy enamorado de ti.»
Con esta declaración comienza Alabanza, una emocionante novela sobre las relaciones de pareja, la gestión de la propia identidad y el futuro de la literatura.
Claudia y Sebastián disfrutan de unas vacaciones de verano en un pueblo habitado exclusivamente por viudas y donde no es posible conectarse a internet. Mientras él se dedica a recordar por escrito a todas las amantes de su vida, ella recorre el pueblo y los alrededores y acaba interesada por un suceso acaecido hace casi treinta años: el incendio de la iglesia mayor. Un crimen espeluznante servirá de insospechada catarsis para su vida en común.
Reseñas:
«Lo específicamente contemporáneo en Olmos es la elaboración de una voz que, desde un lugar desolado, opina con exasperación adversativa en contra del sentido común de su época.»
Rafael Reig, ABCD Las Letras
«Se toma en serio al lector con la voluntad de acorralarlo, desquiciarlo y hasta reanimarlo.»
Nadal Suau, El Cultural
«Resultará difícil que con el paso del tiempo este libro no se convierta en una de las referencias de la narrativa española de las primeras décadas del siglo XXI.»
Revista de Letras
«Una historia honesta, minimalista e intelectualmente provocativa. Obscenamente buena. Sus páginas gozan de una excelente respiración, con un temblor contenido por momentos y expansivo cuando es preciso.»
Ángeles López, La Razón
«Alberto Olmos ha dado un valiente paso adelante en su ya brillante carrera literaria con su último trabajo, [...] una novela fluida y absorbente.»
Cambio 16
«Literaria, sentimental, vivencial.»
Guillermo Bursutil, La Opinión de Murcia
