Jacinto is a grumpy aspiring writer in whom no one believes, except himself. Conceited, cynical and arrogant, nothing will divert him from his true commitment and purpose in life: to publish a masterpiece... whatever the cost. Short on ideas and talent, this particular Don Quixote of the keyboard will embark on an obsessive search for notoriety and transcendence through modern digital shortcuts, impossible pacts and experiencing a vital and creative catharsis.
In Una obra maestra, Lorenzo Caudevilla freely transfers several short stories by humorist Juan Carlos Ortega to comic strips, creating a mesmerizing graphic novel about creativity, insecurities, obsessions, artificial intelligence, posterity... The result is a graphic novel that combines sharp satire with an overwhelming graphic result, peppered with countless references to the world of literature, comics, painting and pop culture.
