Enhorabuena por tu fracaso / Congratulations On Your Failure by Arturo Gonzlezcampos

El libro de Arturo González-Campos que te autoayuda a fracasar estrepitosamente en la vida
 
«Amo las cosas y, por lo tanto, amo a las personas que hacen cosas. Gente que dedica su vida a hacer libros, pelis, canciones, cómics..., cosas.
 
Gracias a ellas soy un poco menos imbécil, lo cual, en mi caso, tampoco es mucho decir».
 
Enhorabuena por tu fracaso es un desnudo integral de Arturo González-Campos, lo que no sabemos si dice mucho a su favor. Una oda a lo genuino y una invitación a que te atrevas a persistir en lo que te apasiona; a fracasar y fracasar y volver a intentarlo para, con toda probabilidad, seguir aprendiendo a fracasar. Este es un relato (¿o unas memorias?) sobre esos fracasos que, sólo a veces, se convierten en éxitos y que han permanecido en la mente de Arturo González-Campos durante toda su vida. Listas de canciones, de películas, de libros, pequeñas historias personales que se hacen universales y anécdotas amargamente tristes que te matarán de risa. Todo eso y mucho más podrás encontrar en esta «artubiografía de las cosas» que es una puta locura.
 
«Este libro no te va a llevar ni a Ítaca ni a Mordor. Mira fijamente el trayecto de la Roomba de tu casa; eso va a ser este libro. Este libro son mis cajitas».

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book by Arturo González-Campos that will self-help you to fail miserably.

«I love things and therefore I love people who make things. People who dedicate their lives to making books, movies, songs, comics... things. Thanks to them I am a little less stupid-- which, in my case, is not saying much either.»
 
Congratulations on your failure is a full-frontal nude of sorts by Arturo González-Campos-- and not much of a flattering one at that. It is an ode to unpretentious honesty, and an invitation to persist: to fail and fail and try again so you can keep on learning to fail. This is a story (or is it a memoir?) about those exceptional failures that end up becoming successes, and that Arturo González-Campos has treasured in his memory. These are all small personal (yet somehow universal) stories, and bitterly sad anecdotes that will make you laugh out loud. You can find all that and much more in this fucking crazy «artubiography of things.»
 
«This book won't take you to Ithaca or to Mordor. Just look at your Roomba's course: that's what this book is going to be like.»
