David Moragas dazzles us with a story about love, about learning to love (and to love ourselves), about connections and about the vertigo that life often gives us. Fervor is destined to become an anthem for millennials, with careful, fresh prose and a character who will stay with us for a very long time.
At first, it’s a crush. I meet him during a talk at the CCCB. In less than two weeks we follow each other on social media, in two months we sleep together at Mar Bella, and when we’ve only been seeing each other for three months, I realize I’ve fallen in love. Without knowing how. I look for answers from my closest references, but soon I discover that neither my friends, nor my roommate, nor my parents have the key to anything. About how to love. About how to love well. Life in Barcelona is a challenge, as is finding a job that serves for more than just paying rent, surviving hangovers, and making it to the end of the day having eaten all the fiber recommended by commercials. To love and fail, to learn and err.
THE PROTAGONIST OF FERVOR FALLS IN LOVE UNINTENTIONALLY. THE REST IS HISTORY, AND THIS IS IT.
