Manuel Vázquez Montalbán wrote a novel that he presented to the Breve Prize in the early 60s. The work, which predates any of his books of narrative and poetry, has unexpectedly appeared among the archives of the writer.
The novel will be in bookstores this autumn in the Navona edition. The text is a fictionalized chronicle in the first person of the 60s in Barcelona. It is "a scathing and ruthless portrait of the Barcelona society of the time," says the author's son.
