In 'Agosto, octubre', Andrés Barba presents the story of Tomás, a teenager whose life takes an unexpected turn during a family vacation in a small town. Amidst the summer inactivity, Tomás faces the discovery of sex, violence, and death, participating in an act that will deeply mark him. The novel explores the complexity of adolescence, the loss of innocence, and the search for forgiveness, all narrated with an agile and moving prose that evokes classics like Pavese and directors like Gus Van Sant.
