“I was the athletics runner-up in Spain when I was 18 and now I can hardly find the words to describe the pain that people with chronic fatigue feel”. With this message, Fernando Novalbos presents ‘La soledad del abecedario’, a novel about the story of a patient with chronic fatigue. The 30% of the profits will be donated to the research in this syndrome, led at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Research (VHIR) by Dr. José Alegre.The main character is diagnosed by chance in a moment of his life in which “he has to deal with things related to love”, the author reported. It is a positive story in which the disease is not an impediment to achieve his challenges. Dr. Alegre recommends this book to all the society and especially to the patient’s families because it explains how this disease not only produces fatigue, but also induces a severe cognitive impairment. In this sense, he acknowledges the merit of the author because “the chronic fatigue syndrome presents serious reading and learning difficulties”.
