Homicide as hyperbole of guilt and remorse. The idea of ​​evil presented in a way that anyone can empathize with to a greater degree. There are certain things in our past that can expose us to the idea of ​​a great risk taken or something certainly wrong. And the idea of ​​a mortal victim in the maelstrom of youth points to that essential mimicry with the human species.

If, in addition to an interesting proposal in this aspect of elemental attunement with guilt, a story is constructed that delves into the enigmas, secrets and mysteries of other times, revisited from the perspective of its connoisseurs long after, an interesting novel ends up being formed. which, woven together with the author's wise narrative tension, ends up leading us through an exciting reading.

In Tigres de cristal, a title with evocations of estrangement or dreamlike aspects, we meet two kids from the outskirts of Barcelona, ​​where the city of Barcelona has been receiving immigrants from here and there since the 60s. Or rather, we know both of them characters who were those children, only three decades apart.

The passage of time, especially when that period supposes the abandonment of childhood and the consolidation in maturity, always brings a strange notion of life. What was left in childhood, what was done in those years seems like a distant dream evoked by details that are rescued as brilliant moments.

But what the two old schoolmates have to share is overshadowed by what they have to hide. If there is a moment stored in the memory of both, that is that winter night of 1978. Death had a starring role, unexpected, a cameo in the script of their lives that would end up marking them forever, no matter how hard they try. make a bad dream of it now.

Between the present and the 70s, we move through the streets of Cornellá, like a literary montage that superimposes a saturated light on old black and white photos. Only from the current light it also finds its shadow areas. Life is always a pending account and, for the protagonists of this story, it needs a final settlement.
