Dinosaurio by David Pascual Huertas

Post-apocalypse, reality shows and biblical echoes: this is a book about the beauty of darkness. Elaine Vilar Madruga, a child character, narrates her life in first person. She works her muscles every day because only the fit men will get to Donatello’s kingdom. She lives isolated with her parents, religious fanatics whose only occupation is to watch TV contests while they wait for the end of the world. She has a brother she knows absolutely nothing about and who she bumps into every time they meet in the hallway. She often goes to see her lover, a man who lives in the forest and who she calls Dinosaur. When, one day, it appears the apocalypse has finally come, she decides she will do whatever it takes to take care of what matters to her most.
