«Balada de Caín» is the novel by Manuel Vicent, published by BackList in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The story starts in the desert of Genesis, reaches the asphalt of New York, and combines lost paradises with mythical cities, alongside the spiritual dimension and the impulses of the flesh. The shadow of Cain and his fratricidal condition traverse memory, cross the ages, and reappear under new masks.
