La edad estupenda

Meet the naive Cándida, the caustic Angus, the frivolous Cleo and the magufa Morningstar in all their cynicism and splendor. He laughs with the neurotic Stupenda and with Uma, back from everything; stress yourself out with Iñigo -the agony- and El Chicho, a classic carca who thinks he's modern. The forties, that decade in which everyone who is the same age as our protagonists seems much older and damaged. Or was it the other way around? If you read these lines, it means that you are over forty and you have lived yours. You have already had a few joys and not a few disappointments. You have changed jobs and partner several times, maybe you have children and a mortgage, or both or maybe neither. Perhaps debts and, surely, too many memories. Welcome to The Stupendous Age, so reviled that it vindicates itself with all the strength and irony that four decades behind us offer us. Without pretensions, without vital lessons to transfer to the new generations. No hands.
