Game Theory
Original title: Teoria del joc
A sharp, fearless novel about desire, guilt, and the emotional education of a generation raised between Messenger and Tinder.
We follow Ernest from childhood to adulthood: from early fixations—pornography, love, and disillusionment—to complex relationships shaped by social media and the shifting dynamics of male desire. His relationships—with Aurora, his first love, and with Gisela, a married mother who believes in free love—draw us into a messy, vulnerable, and deeply contemporary exploration of intimacy. Along the way, we encounter radically different ways of loving—and a few unforgettable sex scenes. Arià Paco dissects the evolving rules of intimacy in an age of polyamory and moral accountability. An unflinching look at what it means to love when the old maps no longer apply.
