Nunca pasa nada (Nothing Ever Happens) (Spanish Edition): Jos

Book Description:

September 1, 2007
How many times have we felt ashamed, not by what we do but by being caught doing it? Without ever realizing it, life can become a collection of secrets that permeate our daily routine. Carmela and Nico lead a peaceful middle-class life until Olivia, the cleaning lady from Ecuador, threatens to shatter the apparent normality. At times entertaining, at others tragic, the novel dismantles the mechanisms of our conscience and exposes the underlying tensions of a world where appearances supersede reality. Description in Spanish: A menudo no te averguenzas de lo que haces, sino de que te vean hacerlo. Sin darnos cuenta, la vida puede convertirse en una acumulacion de secretos que impregna hasta el ultimo minuto de nuestra rutina. Carmela y Nico, una mujer excesivamente independiente y un hombre demasiado apacible, llevan una tranquila y acomodada vida de matrimonio de clase media, plagada de silencios casi imperceptibles. Pero es el secreto de Olivia, la inmigrante ecuatoriana encargada de las tareas del hogar, el que podria derribar esa apariencia de normalidad. Sobre todo si entre medias anda Claudio, un muchacho superdotado de ideas enrevesadas al que le divierte desvelar lo oculto. Nunca pasa nada es un libro a ratos divertido, a ratos tragico, en el que Jose Ovejero despliega sus artes narrativas para mostrar los conflictos y tensiones subyacentes en un mundo donde lo aparente impera sobre lo real, y para desmontar los mecanismos de nuestra buena conciencia. Solo Olivia, a la vez victima y agente de la desgracia, parece saber que la buena conciencia no va a resolver sus problemas. Y en cuanto a Claudio, bueno, Claudio no tiene conciencia.
