Chinese Cursed is a novel written with humor and bad temper.
A rowdy comedy with influences from Wilt, The Confederacy of Dunces, The best thing that can happen to a croissant and even Don Quixote of La Mancha.
This adventure spiced with comic touches (Mort and Phil) and a cheesy movie grams (Torrente).
After being rejected the manuscript of Chinese Cursed by various publishers (some of which even reached the original launch window as a defense), and after being called a thug, indecent and offensive, now we finally get to see light.
The protagonist of the novel Damn Chinese, Mr. Ricardo Beltran, is a learned man, lonely, schizophrenic, fifties, unmarried, living with her godmother and a chihuahua.

The disappearance Beltran dog and other pets in your building, Chinese makes you suspect that just opened a restaurant in the basement of their building.
The fight against time to get his chihuahua trigger a series of events which will put Spain on the brink, and those who will be interspersed nostalgic group of Franco, a high charge state or a terrorist quirky obsessed with attacking the interests of the Catholic Church.
