Add to basketVenganza, amor y ultras en una novela adictiva, violenta y vertiginosa.
Amador es el consejero y número dos de la facción criminal de Lokos, el grupo ultra del FC Barcelona. Extorsionan, pegan palizas, mueven droga y destruyen a bandas enemigas. Su capo es Alberto Cid, alias el Cid, un psicópata sin alma ni escrúpulos. Amador y el Cid, legendarios skinheads neonazis del gol sur durante los ochenta y noventa, fueron inseparables durante años, hasta que algo los distanció. Amador acarrea muchos secretos, y el mayor de ellos es su homosexualidad, que de salir a la luz le costaría la vida. Su padre, antiguo delincuente y leyenda local, está gravemente enfermo, y su agonía abre cicatrices de infancia que Amador creía cerradas.
César «Jabalí» Beltrán fue rugbista y ahora se gana la vida vengando por encargo a víctimas de pederastas y atropelladores en fuga. Vive clandestinamente, en un estrecho círculo de empatía donde solo caben dos personas más: su hermana, Paloma, y su sobrina, Lucía. Un secuestro, una redada y un botín desaparecido hacen que la vida de César y la de Amador se entrecrucen, con resultados imprevisibles para ambos: la revancha salvaje en la que vivían (contra el mundo, contra sus infancias, contra su suerte) empieza a desgajarse por los extremos.
Revancha es una novela violenta y vertiginosa, absolutamente adictiva, que habla de venir del lugar equivocado, de delincuencia, de rabia y reparación, de amor y venganza. Un libro indócil, lleno de vulgaridad y belleza, dolor y humor, a la vez que escrito con la máxima adrenalina.
Kiko Amat (Sant Boi, 1971) es autor de siete novelas y tres obras de no ficción. En Anagrama ha publicado El día que me vaya no se lo diré a nadie (2003): «Relato intenso, airado y estilizado como un sencillo de los Small Faces» (Ramón Vendrell, El Periódico); Cosas que hacen BUM (2007): «Con un humor vigorizante, Kiko Amat evoca los intentos desesperados de un antihéroe para ser aceptado por el clan. Un autorretrato generacional lleno de burla y de nostalgia» (Ariane Singer, Le Monde); Rompepistas (2009): «Un Trainspotting (casi) sin drogas. Un guardián en la fábrica La Seda. Un Graham Swift sin Guinness (con Estrellas). Una novela excelente» (Carlos Zanón); Eres el mejor, Cienfuegos (2012): «Amat, por lo menos en literatura, es seguramente lo mejor» (Javier Calvo); Antes del huracán (2018): «Extraordinaria. Pertenece esta novela al tronco de la alta literatura» (Jordi Gracia, El País); Revancha (2021): «Dura, veloz, violenta, Revancha es una bala perfecta, el reverso literario de la hipocresía» (Lucía Lijtmaer), el manual Los enemigos (2022): «Un libro que alterna humor, seriedad y mala leche para teorizar sobre la utilidad de ciertos “malos” sentimientos» (Carmen López, El Periódico de España). Su última novela es Dick o la tristeza del sexo (2025). También es autor de dos libros de no ficción, Mil violines y Chap chap.
En la actualidad co-guioniza y co-conduce el podcast Pop y Muerte (Radio Primavera Sound). En Instagram: @popymuerte.
