«Chamábase Luís» is the novel by Marina Mayoral, published by Edicións Xerais in paperback (160 pages, in Galician).
Luís, thirty years old and father of two children aged thirteen and eight, has been drug-dependent since he was twenty and lives off his family. Nine testimonies show, from different perspectives, how his heroin addiction drags his loved ones into despair, between love and helplessness, rage and resignation. His story is marked by illness and by the presence of AIDS.
