The Best Thing That Can Happen To A Croissant by Pablo Tusset
Pablo 'Baloo' Miralles, an overweight, inept thirty year old layabout and the black sheep of his family, reluctantly gives up his splendid isolation to investigate a suspicious organisation. While Pablo is a renowned internet philosopher and a frequenter of brothels, his brother, 'The First', is president of the prosperous family business. But having strong armed Pablo into action, The First suddenly disappears and his irreverent brother begins a hair-raising, mind-bending adventure: racing around in a sports car that resembles Bagheera, getting into scrapes with venereal infections and web pages with dubious content ...before locating an invisible citadel in the heart of Barcelona. This literary debut is one of the most surprising and entertaining of recent years. Tusset has shown himself to be a hugely talented satirist.
Pablo Tusset, born in Barcelona in 1965, abandoned a comfortable future as a literary critic to dedicate himself to writing. The Best Thing that can Happen to a Croissant is his first novel.
