La nave de los locos : $b novela

Three friends, each a self‑styled writer, set off from Madrid in winter, their car broken down on a dusty stretch of the Málaga coast. While waiting for repairs, they wander a salty promenade, watch weathered fishermen mend their nets, and observe a group of boys playing a risky sugar‑cane game. Their idle stroll becomes a lively forum where philosophy, pedagogy and the craft of the novel clash in witty, sometimes absurd, debate.

Through their banter, the story treats the very act of storytelling as a kind of navigation—charting routes, adjusting sails, and questioning whether a novel needs a rigid technique or can drift freely. The narrator, a novelist himself, offers a playful “do‑it‑yourself” guide to constructing fiction, all set against the muted, mica‑colored sea. Listeners will be drawn into a bright, conversational tableau that feels both a travelogue and a love letter to the endless possibilities of literary creation.
