MIAMI, 20 de marzo de 2013 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Prisa Ediciones - El escritor español José Ovejero ha sido galardonado con el Premio Alfaguara de Novela 2013, dotado con 175.000 dólares y una escultura de Martín Chirino, por la obra La invención del amor, presentada bajo el título Triángulo imperfecto y con el seudónimo Doppelgänger. El jurado, presidido por Manuel Rivas y compuesto por Annie Morvan, José María Pozuelo Yvancos, Jordi Puntí, Xavier Velasco, Antonio Ramírez y Pilar Reyes (con voz pero sin voto), ha declarado ganadora la novela por mayoría.

La invención del amor cuenta la historia de Samuel que, cumplidos los cuarenta, conserva a sus amigos, es socio en una empresa de materiales de construcción y ha encadenado compañeras de cama. Desde su terraza observa sin participar el trajín cotidiano madrileño. Samuel, realmente, está de vuelta sin haber llegado. Un día, alguien al teléfono le dice que Clara ha muerto, y cuelga. Lo misterioso del caso es que Samuel no recuerda a ninguna Clara. Samuel averigua que la persona con la que lo han confundido era el amante secreto de la difunta, y se pone en contacto con la hermana de aquélla, la atractiva Carina. Ambos empiezan a compartir vivencias y huecos. Clara había tenido una conflictiva adolescencia punk, y Carina, la responsable, ahora se nota atascada en el bache de la madurez. Samuel inventa, aprovechándose del sentimiento de culpabilidad de Carina. En la retrospectiva, se sacan a colación viejos dramas familiares, silencios, escapadas. Con su empresa al borde del cierre por la crisis, Samuel empieza a hablarle a su madre, con demencia senil, de la Clara que se está inventando. Curiosamente, pronto ese nombre será uno de los pocos que recuerde la anciana. Samuel tampoco puede despegarse ya del recuerdo de Clara, pero se siente cada vez más atraído por Carina y piensa en cómo decirle la verdad.

Una novela con solteros y crisis que crece y se ramifica, a partir de la curiosidad por lo inmediato, llegando a tocar el misterio. El narrador protagonista nos hace cómplices hablándonos directamente sobre la soledad, el amor y la capacidad para reinventarse y autoengañarse. Con elementos del thriller clásico, se trata de un libro romántico pero muy pegado a la calle, un relato generacional ubicado en Madrid.

José Ovejero (Madrid, 1958) vive en Madrid y Bruselas, donde combina su pasión por la literatura con las colaboraciones periodísticas. Desde que ganara el Premio Ciudad de Irún 1993 con su poemario Biografía del explorador, ha cultivado todos los géneros, siendo especialmente reseñable su libro de viajes China para hipocondríacos, merecedor del Premio Grandes Viajeros 1998, y su novela Las vidas ajenas, ganadora del Premio Primavera 2005. Desde su primer galardón hasta el último, el autor ha continuado cultivando el género narrativo con novelas como Añoranza del héroe, Huir de Palermo, Un mal año para Miki, Nunca pasa nada (Alfaguara, 2007) y La comedia salvaje (Alfaguara, 2009) —que obtuvo el Premio Ramón Gómez de la Serna 2010—, con libros de relatos como Cuentos para salvarnos a todos, Qué raros son los hombres y Mujeres que viajan solas, y con ensayos como Escritores delincuentes (Alfaguara, 2011) y La ética de la crueldad (Premio Anagrama de Ensayo 2012).

En esta convocatoria se han recibido 802 manuscritos, la edición con más participación en la historia del Premio. Hasta el momento han obtenido el Premio Alfaguara de Novela: Caracol Beach de Eliseo Alberto y Margarita, está linda la mar de Sergio Ramírez (ambos ganadores de la primera edición), Son de Mar de Manuel Vicent, Últimas noticias del paraíso de Clara Sánchez, La piel del cielo de Elena Poniatowska, El vuelo de la reina de Tomás Eloy Martínez, Diablo Guardián de Xavier Velasco, Delirio de Laura Restrepo, El turno del escriba de Graciela Montes y Ema Wolf, Abril rojo de Santiago Roncagliolo, Mira si yo te querré de Luis Leante, Chiquita de Antonio Orlando Rodríguez, El viajero del siglo de Andrés Neuman, El arte de la resurrección de Hernán Rivera Letelier, El ruido de las cosas al caer de Juan Gabriel Vásquez y Una misma noche de Leopoldo Brizuela.
