The Indignants make camps, write slogans and hold assemblies to protest about a political class that doesn't represent them. An ex-policeman is drowning in drink and  takes his gun along to the bars of the capital where he'd tortured several people in his custody during  the late Franco era. A beautiful young man from Opus Dei, suffering from a deficiency of soul, asks passers-by for money to buy a crucifix,  which will lead him to join a far-left terrorist group planning the end of the local fascism. With this plot and a daring prose style, Reactionaries, a novel not given to civility, takes a journey that starts in the savage Spain of the mid-twentietcentury and ends in those long distant times in which the voice of the wearied people was a possibility and was even heard with the aim of fulfilling a whim.
