The XIII Tusquets Editores de Novela Award 2017 brings us a unique story. The man secluded in nature, or liberated from society in it. A Robinson of whom we will soon want to know his reasons for isolation. The Mute wanders in his particular kingdom of nothingness, of emptiness ...
Nothing more hyperbolic and macabre than considering killing your father. But Águeda is like that. It is not a role that you have had to play. It's just a matter of monotony and boredom, of a badly managed pregnancy, the tedium of an insignificant life and the strange and ...
