La ciudad infinita : Crónicas de exploración urbana

Walking through the city will be different from now on. The infinite city is a new look at the art of the walk and also a lyrical essay on urbanism. The seed of this book were the 21 literary excursions, or asphalt expeditions, that Sergio C. Fanjul undertook during the summer when he worked as an Official Walker of the Villa de Madrid. After watering and fertilizing them, they have become a lush path where they coexist, with humor and vehemence, notes on the mission of the pedestrian in an age hostile to urbanity, the search for historical episodes that reconcile us with the layout of the streets and even a vindication of coexistence and social being. Without a doubt, this is a book for adventurers on foot, signed by one of the most surprising writers of the new literature in Spanish. Sergio C. Fanjul has said ... The work of Sergio C. Fanjul shares with social networks his contagious fluency, his addictive self-confidence, a language at the end of the street and an ingenuity proof of dogmas. The East Country poet, training astrophysicist, offers a global showcase to which a subject that is both a spectator and hostage of neocapitalism: an autonomous who fights for survival in the open after the explosion of the welfare state. Babelia Desabciados, bricks, results accounts, advertisements, slots, mortgages, scholars ... form the landscape of the gaze of Sergio C. Fanjul, who succeeds in portraying the current situation of a majority of Spanish society
