'Round 15'
 NOVEL 
 Author: Juan Carlos Méndez Guédez
 
 This is the story of a man alone. A man who sits drinking coffee in the middle of the night in the kitchen of his house. That's how the hours go by. With memories. Leonel Hernandez's fights come to his mind, his defeats, his hooks. He also relives his love story with the woman of his life, thinks of his mother-in-law, of his two children, of his twenty-five years of marriage. And so, all of a sudden, he wakes up and feels the tastelessness of living in a Venezuela that is both loved and hated, where anything can happen.  Nowadays, world title fights don't go all the way to Round 15, something the protagonist of the novel wonders, unaware that he himself is in a novel called Round 15.
