Utilidad de las desgracias is a significant collection of 78 literary articles and personal reflections written by Fernando Aramburu . Far from a traditional novel like his bestseller Patria , this volume gathers his best press collaborations, primarily from the newspaper El Mundo.

: The text celebrates literature, small daily details (like birds and squirrels), and the wisdom of Albert Camus, while firmly ridiculing pedantry and dogmatic fanatics.
