Tony Tulathimutte

Rechazo es una provocadora incursión (tremendamente perspicaz y escandalosamente divertida) en los problemas más espinosos de la vida moderna. Las siete historias van saltando, sin solución de continuidad, entre las respectivas crisis personales de los miembros de una peculiar cuadrilla, y las tragicomedias del sexo, las relaciones, la identidad e internet. En El feminista, la apasionada militancia de un joven en el feminismo se transforma en un nihilismo furioso cuando el protagonista constata, pasados ya treinta años de soledad, que asi no se ha comido una rosca. En Fotos, el enamoramiento no correspondido de una joven degenera en una obsesion malsana y en la destruccion sistematica su concepto de si misma. Y en Ahegao o Balada de la represion sexual, el fracaso de una persona timida en sus (tardios) esfuerzos por tener una primera relacion, lleva a esa persona a cometer, sin darse cuenta, un error garrafal. Los personajes revelan, a medida que unos van apareciendo en las aplicaciones de citas y en las redes sociales de otros -o encontrandose en bares y dormitorios tenuemente iluminados-, como nuestros autoengaños pueden desnaturalizar nuestro afan de conexion. Estas brillantes satiras indagan en las subestimadas tribulaciones del rechazo con la autoridad de un clasico moderno y la frenetica intensidad de un manifiesto. Rechazo es audaz e inolvidable: un impactante mosaico que redefine que quiere decir que a una persona la rechacen amantes, amigos, la sociedad... y que ella misma se rechace.

Cuatro amigos de la Universidad de Stanford se reúnen en el San Francisco del milenio. Acaban de graduarse y, al cumplir los veinte años, empiezan a complicarse la vida: Will, un americano-tailandés desarrollador de webs, se conforma con pasar todo el dia metido en la red. Cuando el jefe de Cory muere de un infarto repentino, heredara la direccion de una institucion sin fines de lucro que esta totalmente endeudada. Linda, una chica precoz y algo mezquina, esta segura de que alcanzara la fama literaria. Su ex novio, Henrik, trata su trastorno bipolar con un exceso de automedicacion y se defiende de la soledad con una prostituta. Todos ellos acabaran encontrandose en un territorio incomodo. Un relato muy ingenioso sobre la generacion de jovenes de ahora mismo.

Pero pasa las noches colocada, de fiesta en fiesta, y se aprovecha de los solteros que se encuentra para tener un sitio donde quedarse. Su exnovio, el torpe y honesto Henrik, trata su trastorno bipolar con un exceso de medicacion y se defiende de la soledad con una prostituta.
