El Marica the novel is a story of love and revenge: intense, irreverent, transgressive and realistic, combining a myriad of political values, social, moral and especially, it is a heartbreaking look at societies based on dictatorial regimes. Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War it can also be considered a hymn against homophobia, the abuse of political power and the double standards of the higher social spheres anywhere in the world. The plot of the novel and especially its end is fascinating, typical of the best storytellers that leave the reader or viewer impacted, whereupon the story acquires a high literary level.

“Our publishing imprint, is always characterized by searching for novels with new cutting-edge alternatives that break traditional patterns as was once the novel, Sin Tetas No Hay Paraíso, that was then taken to a Television series by Canal Caracol Colombia, successfully in multiple countries and especially in Spain. We repeated that success with the serial El Capo, which was produced by FOX-RCN with the author’s copyright and Editorial Oveja Negra, difussed in innumerables world countries. Thus, we consolidated the search to provide opportunities for creative writers, with innovative stories that meet the demanding taste, of a reader and audiovisual viewer eager for stories that touch, challenging, different and break common stereotypes”, expressed Jose Vicente  Kataraín, its publisher.

Carmelo Di Fazio’s El Marica, has had a significant impact on social networks and has been positioned among the three best-selling books currently in Venezuela already surpassing Dan Brown’s success “El Infierno”.

The book El Marica of Di Fazio, captures by the psychological plot, justified in the context of love, and the defense of freedom’s inherent values. The outcome is no less unorthodox, and plagued by a strong and full of revenge, blood  and sexual frustrations. That is, intelligently combines the requirements to become a work of international and cinematic impact.”
