During the second trimester the literary week took place in our institute, in which different authors of works that we read students of the center from first of the that until bachiller come. Meetings are held with the authors to meet them in person and ask them questions. In my course we had to read "Mi nombre escrito en la puerta de un váter",by Paz Castelló, after reading it we made a personal opinion about the book and this is what you are going to read in this post.
In spite of the strangeness of the title of this novel, it immediately attracted my attention for the synopsis. There was something about her that encouraged me to delve into the story. I think I did not expect anything, and if I did, personally the novel surprised me just because it was not predictable. Maybe I imagined a drama, maybe with something of comedy, or on the contrary with many disappointments. Something realistic without a doubt. But I never imagined that I would find myself facing a semi-thriller (I do not fit it completely in the genre, but that's not why I say it's not good) that managed to trap me and leave me a good taste in my mouth, for the suspense and the plot twists that the author manages.
The story, it is the least, irreverent. Paz Castelló is not afraid to reflect the world as it is. Nor create realistic characters and full of emotions. And neither is it afraid to build a story that is bitter and raw. Because with all this, even as pessimistic as it may be, Paz Castelló leaves a mark with her.
The story is divided into two parts: The first, narrated in the voice of Mauro Santos, is just what the synopsis reveals. We know the characters, their stories, their benevolence and their bitterness. It creates a good background for the plot.
At the end of this first part, a plot twist occurs, which I definitely did not expect. Something that changes the story, and that certainly influences the behavior of the characters. Through this second part, we see that the author addresses issues such as drug addiction, prostitution, crime, impunity, ambition, conspiracy, blackmail, revenge and many others that make up the dark side of the human being.
The convenience and manipulation of the media is reflected with total veracity, showing how we have learned to see only what a few want us to see and how our opinions are adapted to what we see in the media.
The author really makes a social criticism towards the whole world of television and literature, showing her most perverse side, the one that is only full of what we might only find in a toilet.
The end is bittersweet. Leave that feeling of satisfaction, even when it is not entirely correct. It has a certain touch of hope, but it is still dark, as finally, a good part of the book was.
