Diario de un gilipollas

Synopsis
Marc is a Pisces, a worrier and pushing forty when lockdown catches him completely off guard. Alone at home, the confinement begins to take its toll, bringing old wounds he thought long healed back to the surface.
On the advice of Vicen, he starts writing about his endless stews, his insecurities and his longings. What emerges, in a personal and nostalgic voice, is a story of self-discovery—one that lays bare just how many idiotic things a human being can do over the course of a lifetime, mostly in the name of love.
If this novel were a recipe, its combination of ingredients would be unlike any other: one idiot, one wretched lockdown, one capricious fate, one broken heart, a handful of great friendships, a trip to the beautiful Tuscany, the soundtrack of a life, and a longing for a Barcelona that no longer exists.
Cooked together just right, these ingredients make «Diario de un Gilipollas» something special—a story that is sure to raise more than a smile.

Christian Baquero
Sant Cugat del Vallés · 1976
A Pisces, a perico, a father of a large family, and a holder of a master's degree in positive psychology and emotional management, Christian Baquero Gil has spent more than twenty years in the travel industry, specialising in the design and sale of long-haul journeys. That work has taken him to remarkable places, introduced him to different cultures, and left him with hundreds of stories — all of which have done nothing but feed an already vivid imagination. A lifelong and voracious reader, he makes his debut as a novelist with «Diario de un gilipollas», bringing together many of his passions in a single book: reading, travel, cinema, football, good music, and good wine.
