Item description from seller

Paperback. Esclarecedora novela sobre el poder. No sobre como alcanzarlo, o detentarlo, que tambien, sino por que destruirlo y cambiarlo de una puta vez. Juan TallonEl libro que necesitaba leer este ano. Un viaje de pesadilla a las entranas de un sistema ante el que ya no somos cuerpo, solo fuerza de trabajo. Una lectura que nos da las palabras precisas para nombrar lo que nos enferma y concita la rabia que necesitamos para, de una vez, romperlo todo. Aixa de la CruzUn relato clarividente, inteligentisimo, viviseccion de lo que es ser hoy mujer y hombre, por separado y simultaneamente. Agustin Fernandez MalloA sus cuarenta y cuatro anos, la mujer que protagoniza esta novela se ha convertido en un autentico hombre de negocios: gana doscientos mil euros al ano y ha modelado su cuerpo, su tiempo, su lenguaje y hasta sus relaciones sexuales para conseguir tener tanto poder como un hombre, ser aceptada en sus circulos, ganarse su total confianza y convertirse, por fin, en uno de ellos. En la cima de su carrera profesional, cuando lleva anos viviendo, pensando y ganando exactamente lo mismo que sus colegas masculinos, echa la vista atras y observa su metamorfosis, desde la primera vez que penso que habia nacido en el bando equivocado hasta el momento en que comprende que su exito profesional es tambien el resultado de una monstruosa transformacion personal.El ultimo hombre blanco puede leerse como la cronica de una infiltrada en las costuras del mercado laboral o como el testimonio de un hombre poderoso y opaco que por primera vez toma la palabra dispuesto a decir la verdad. La prosa incisiva y lucida de Nuria Labari sirve para contar la historia de una mujer que creyo que necesitaba escalar una montana y de como, una vez que consiguio llegar a la cumbre, deseo hacerla estallar.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn enlightening novel about power. Not about how to achieve power or how to hold on to it, although that too. But rather why we should destroy it and change it fucking once and for all. Juan Tallon The book I needed to read this year. A nightmarish journey to the core of a system we no longer belong to, but just work for. A read that gives us the right words to name that which makes us sick and arouses the kind of anger we need to tear it down at last. Aixa de la Cruz A clairvoyant and incredibly intelligent tale, a vivisection of what it means to be a woman and a man today, both separate and simultaneously. Agustin Fernandez Mallo At forty-four, the female protagonist of this novel has become an authentic business man: she earns two hundred thousand euros a year, has modeled her body, her time, her language, and even her sexual relations to achieve as much power as a man does, to be accepted in their circles, to earn their full trust, and finally become one of them. At the peak of her professional career, when shes already been living, thinking, and earning exactly the same as her male colleagues for years, she takes a look back to her metamorphosis since the first time she thought she had been born part of the wrong team, up to the moment she understood that her professional success was also result of a monstruous personal transformation. The Last White Man can be read as the chronicle of an infiltrate at the seams of the labor market, or as the testimony of a powerful and opaque man who takes the floor for the first time, willing to tell the truth. Nuria Labaris incisive and lucid prose helps tell the story of a woman who thought she needed to climb a mountain, and how, when she finally reached the summit, wanted to blow it up.
