SÁBADO, DOMINGO
Time is our only judge, and Sunday always arrives.
SATURDAY, SUNDAY narrates a story and then returns to tell it again years later. At the beginning, an adolescent relates a lurid event from the previous summer. Along with his friend Chino, they go out on a saturday night and pick up a waitress. The night seems to be going well until events get out of hand and the night ends in disaster: it is a fateful saturday that our narrator refuses to remember. But after every Saturday, a Sunday comes.
Twenty-five years later, this adolescent, now a man dragging many bad decisions behind him, accompanies his daughter to a Halloween party at the International School on the outskirts of Madrid. There he chats with an unknown woman who is hidden behind a costume mask. The conversation, seemingly inconsequential, quickly leads back to that night. There is no choice but to accept that finally it is Sunday, the day we are obligated to confront our past.
SATURDAY, SUNDAY is a novel about guilt, about the debts we take responsibility for in life and about the escape that becomes necessary when accepting reality appears to be impossible.
