About this title

Synopsis

Juan, despu�s de fracasar en diferentes trabajos, consigue un puesto como portero en un rascacielos de Manhattan. All�, obsesionado con abrirles a los inquilinos la puerta no s�lo del edificio sino tambi�n la de �la verdadera felicidad�, topar� con una extravagante galer�a de personajes, entre otros: Roy Friedman, de sesenta y cinco a�os, obsesionado con regalar caramelos a diestro y siniestro; Brenda Hill, �mujer algo descocada, soltera y ligeramente alcoh�lica�.....Al final, Juan s�lo logra entenderse con las mascotas de los inquilinos del edificio, y con ellas emprender� un viaje sin retorno.

Written in New York between 1984 and 1986, this is the story of Juan, who starts working as a doorman in Manhattan after having failed at various jobs, to discover that given the extravagant gallery of characters populating the building, he can only really understand their pets.
