The members of the reading club of the 'Luis Jiménez de Asúa' Social Insertion Centre (CIS) will be able to enjoy, as the members of the Tres con libros reading club did in 2012, one of the most 'hooligan' works read at Tres Culturas, 'No llames a casa' (RBA), by the Barcelona writer Carlos Zanón, recently awarded the 2015 Dashiell Hammett prize at the Semana Negra de Gijón for 'Yo fui Johnny Thunders' (RBA).
Don't call home' is a crime novel full of blackmail with a bleak Barcelona as a backdrop. In the author's own words, ''my characters think about drugs, alcohol and women".
Carlos Zanón
Poet, novelist, scriptwriter, article writer and literary critic. He published his first poems at the end of the 1980s and has published five volumes to date, praised by the specialised critics, including 'Algunas maneras de olvidar a Gengis Khan' (Valencia Poetry Prize 2004).
As a novelist, he debuted in 2008 with the work 'Nadie ama a un hombre bueno', followed a year later by 'Tarde, mal y nunca' (Serie Negra, 91) (Brigada 21 Award for Best First Crime Novel of the Year and finalist of the Siverio Cañada Memorial 2010), which has been translated and published in the United States, Holland, France and Italy.
Don't Call Home' will be made into a film by Basque director Daniel Calparsoro.
