A man is about to undergo an operation. Before, he must empty all the remains of what he has eaten from his intestines, his stomach, from his life. The man has three days to get rid of everything he ate, to get rid of himself. During those three days, the man goes in a journey through his life, seen through the prism of the meals he has eaten. The man occasionally looks a lot like Martn Caparrs; and sometimes he doesnt. Mysterious and explicit, hedonistic and paranoid, celebratory and defiant, I ateis a strange book: a mixture of novel, essay, literary trash can, its the story of a downfall and, above all, a brutal reflection on food, bodies and medicine.A new and original work by Martn Caparrs, one of the indispensable authors writing in Spanish today.
