Killing dinosaurs with slingshot

Slaying Dinosaurs with Slingshots is a novel by Pedro Maestre, winner of the 1996 Nadal Prize. It is perhaps a cutting-edge novel that deals with the overcoming of Peter Pan syndrome (the aversion of the individual to grow) and the end of daydreams.

A young man, twenty-five years old, faces his adult life for the first time. The protagonist is faced with the need to create a basis for his responsibilities, thus ending a youth that has lasted in excess.

He remembers his family with a certain mixture of affection and detachment, due to the image of himself that has engraved of that time: Glasses of ass of glass and disguised more than dress.

However his childhood recalls idyllically with his grandfather, which causes him a nostalgia that, together with writing, uses as a remedy for everything.
