¿Será buena persona el cocinero?

This volume brings together the ninety-five articles published by Javier Marías in the Sunday supplement El País Semanal between February 3, 2019 and January 24, 2021. "The times when people took the promise made seriously , the given word, which the children of my childhood still called 'word of honour'. We are a 'carefree' society and we also have it on display (well, in everything else very angry)", says Javier Marías in one of the articles in this book. At a time when reality is insistent, repetitive and stubborn, the author invites his readers, in each of the pieces included in Will the cook be a good person?, to stop and reflect freely, without paying attention to demagoguery or manipulations, on the most diverse aspects of the present time. And he does it as he has always done: bravely, without compromise, and with impeccable style and an enviable sense of humor.
