Overview
«Cada libro de Quino es lo que más se parece a la felicidad: la quinoterapia.» -Gabriel García Márquez
Muchedumbres aborregadas frente al televisor, señoras que buscan a Dios con prismáticos y no se dan cuenta de la belleza que las rodea, feligresas que se confiesan vía e-mail, niñas confundidas que hacen preguntas comprometedoras a sus padres, trabajadores que se afanan en construir «la destrucción» del futuro, errores informáticos que terminan en situaciones absurdas...
Cada viñeta de Quino es una flecha de dos puntas. Una punta da de lleno en la diana del humor y nos arranca una sonrisa; la segunda señala con insistencia los temas más candentes de nuestra sociedad en crisis: el fanatismo religioso, la desigualdad social, la corrupción, el militarismo, el desgaste del amor. Con ¿Quién anda ahí? el maestro indiscutible de la crítica social humorística vuelve para abrirnos los ojos frente a los asuntos más candentes de nuestra sociedad en continua crisis.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The undisputed master of socially critical humor is back, opening our eyes to some of the most pressing issues in contemporary society.
“Every book by Quino is the closest thing to happiness: I call it quinotherapy.” -Gabriel García Márquez
People massed like sheep in front of the TV, society ladies who look for God with binoculars and ignore the beauty around them, congregants who confess their sins via e-mail, confused children who ask their parents embarrassing questions, workers enthusiastic about the job of “destroying” the future, computer errors that result in absurd situations…
Every Quino vignette is a double-edged sword – one side of the blade is comic gold that forces a smile, while the second drives home troubling issues in today’s world: religious fanaticism, social inequality, corruption, militarism, a lack of compassion. In Who Goes There?, the undisputed master of socially critical humor is back, opening our eyes to some of the most pressing issues in a society in constant crisis.
