PEATÓN es la historia de un hombre desposeído, uno de los millones y millones de desposeídos que pueblan el continente americano al sur del Río Bravo, aunque también sea la historia de cualquier ser humano depauperado, disminuido y desprotegido en cualquiera de los múltiples rincones devastados del planeta, quien, por los desajustes del desarrollo tecnológico y los desequilibrios económicos de nuestro mundo, acaba por vivir en una cueva, por caminar a la inversa el desarrollo evolutivo del hombre, por ser un hombre primitivo, prehistórico, un verdadero cavernícola en pleno siglo XXI. Pero PEATÓN también es la historia de su familia, se su esposa Peatona, sus hijas Peatoncilla y Peatoncita, y su hijo, el primogénito, el futuro PEATÓN, viviendo todos en la ciudad mítica San Pablo Laguna, la megalópolis más poblada y extensa del planeta, unión de ciudades como Buenos Aires, Bogotá, Ciudad de México, Río, etc. PEATÓN es una historia tierna, tremendamente divertida, crítica, irónica, cáustica, partícipe de los problemas actuales y de aquéllos del futuro próximo de la humanidad, pero a la vez profundamente conmovedora y humana, donde se mezclan las computadoras más avanzadas con las hachas de pedernal, los jets privados con los viajes en los intestinos de destartalados camiones urbanos en forma de toros de lidia enfermos digestivos, los noticieros por cable con el analfabetismo, la globalización con la soledad y el aislamiento más dolorosos, la vanguardia informática con el desconocimiento supino de las más elementales estructuras del pensamiento lógico y de la información cultural, el televisor más moderno de pantalla plana y cristal líquido con las paredes y habitaciones irregulares, excavadas a mano, de la prehistórica, ancestral, mítica caverna.
-------- PEATÓN is the most amazing and amusing among the novels of the New Latin American Narrative. His author, Sergio Andrade, has always surprised us with his imagination, his avant-garde treatment of the subjects, and -over all- his marvelous, sometimes absurd, originality. PEATÓN is the story of one of the millions and millions of poor persons living -and suffering- South of the Border. But PEATÓN is, also, the story of his wife, his daughters and his son (the future, about to be, next "Peatón"), all of them - driven by their fate- living in a cavern, a real big cave in the middle of a mythical city (San Pablo Laguna) in which coincide different Eras, Epoques, Times and environments, because of an unbalanced scientific and technological development. In that huge metropolis, converge axes of the stone age, jets, suburban buses in bulls' shape, the globalized world, the saddest solitude, Liquid Crystal Screen TV's, illiteracy, web pages in the most avant garde electronic devices and paintings on the walls of the ancient, symbolic -but very real- prehistoric cave. This book is, doubtless, a strong and powerful masterpiece of a master of new spanish narrativeUna verdadera personalidad renacentista, que lo mismo muestra una cultura enciclopédica, que escribe poesía y ficción, dirige videos y películas, o se sienta a su piano de concierto para cantar y tocarnos su más reciente canción, Sergio Andrade nos sorprende una vez máscon una temática originalísima y una historia que se sale de lo común, de lo trilldo y usual en las novelas actuales. PEATÓN es una novela verdaderamente fuera de los límites de lo convencional, pero, a la vez, utilizando recursos de los símbolos más arraigados en el ser humano. Andrae narra en ella la vida de un latinoamericano pobre, disminuido, que a pesar de vivir en pleno Siglo XXI, convive con elementos de la prehistoria. Ésta es, quizá, la mejor novela de un autor fuera de lo común. De Andrade se han publicado también: MALALIENTO (Ed.
