When in 2008 the Cowboy Bible of Carlos Velázquez was published, it soon became a phenomenon of cult and unclassifiable. Turning away from the fashions that appeal to viscerality to attract attention, Velázquez managed to portray the brutal nonsense of a reality overwhelmed better than anyone else, as the great storytellers do, so that the reader will suffer and judge it, always laughing with something Of bewilderment when realizing that it is possible to have fun with situations so comically sordid. The black spider of pink literature is his most recent book of stories. The point that unites them is an acid humor, only recourse against the loss of the capacity of shock and astonishment. Velázquez is a born writer who allows his characters to develop in a natural way. He tells his stories with a language that demolishes the rigid molds of a writing that dominates to the degree of being able to move with ease to a language of its own, much more oral and alive than usual His stories are like a mirror that returns an accurate image of a reality Which at first appears deformed. A fat man whose wife puts him on a diet of cocaine to lose weight, a teenager with Down Syndrome who becomes the keyboardist star of a failed punk band and a black spider with diva air that dictates to his afflicted owner great Novels of Pink Literature are some of the characters that inhabit their deranged and extremely plausible world. A masterful microcosm, which deters and horrifies the pair, decisive to find some meaning to that turbulent and convulsive order in which our existence transits each day.
