Yo maté a Kennedy

Pepe Carvalho was born as a literary character with this novel and today he is turning fifty. It must be celebrated in style: reading it with joy in honor of its creator, the immortal Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, a prolific writer like few others. I killed Kennedy was a work that opened spaces for new ways of understanding literature in Spain. Presented at the time as an apparent adventure novel, it is actually a reckoning with the topics that were part of the moral, political and sentimental education of our country. In this first work of a detective, culinary, hedonistic and traveling saga, Pepe Carvalho is a bodyguard of Galician origin who has been a member of the Communist Party of Spain and is now a member of the CIA. No one better than him to know what is behind the most notorious assassination of the 20th century.
