Mañana tendremos otros nombres. (Premio Alfaguara 2019) / Tomorrow We Will Have Other Names by Patricio Pron

Novela ganadora del Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2019
 
La gran urbe de Madrid en la actualidad, y una pareja, unos Ella y Él emblemáticos que se separan tras cuatro años de convivencia. Ella, arquitecta, tiene miedo a hacer proyectos de futuro, aunque ha esgrimido una razón falsa: un amante. Él, escritor de ensayos, se queda totalmente desconcertado ante una nueva realidad indescifrable.
 
En el naufragio de la relación, por las grietas de lo que fue entran las amistades, sus consejos y sus vidas, la mayoría de las veces con más penas que claves. Es la generación Tinder, de fotos de pretendientes que se borran con un dedo caprichoso, donde casi todos quedan expuestos y a la postre desencantados. La ruptura de una pareja también dice mucho de un país, de su proyecto de convivencia. Y la radiografía de estos tiempos es dura: padres que lo son por obligación, experimentos de reinvención personal que son performances sin público. Ella y Él, ya próximos a los cuarenta, comienzan a habitar esos nuevos espacios posibles en paralelo, sin desgarros románticos pero con una fuerte añoranza misteriosa que tal vez vuelva a acercarlos.
 
Mañana tendremos otros nombres es una novela íntima y simbólica que aborda las relaciones sentimentales del animal humano desde una óptica sociológica bien apuntalada en la ternura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winning novel of the 2019 Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2019
  
The great city of Madrid today, a couple, an emblematic He and She who are separating after four years of living together. She, an architect, is afraid to make future projects and has made up a false reason: a lover. He, an essayist, is totally bewildered by a new, indecipherable reality.
 
In the wreckage of a relationship, through the cracks of what once was, filter in the friends, their advice, and their lives, most of the time offering more problems than solutions. It is the Tinder generation, pictures of suitors are quickly erased with the glide of a volatile finger, where almost all are exposed and in the end are also disappointed. A couple's breakup also says a lot about a country, about its project of cohabitation. And doing an x-ray of these times is hard: parents who are forced to become parents by society, acts of self-reinvention that are like performances with no audience. He and She, who are close to turning forty, begin to embrace these new possible spaces, without sentimental tears but with a strong mysterious nostalgia that may just bring them close again.
