«Diario de golondrina» is the novel by Amélie Nothomb, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (112 pages, in Spanish).
After a romantic disappointment, a man becomes emotionally blocked and seeks pleasure in extreme experiences: first Radiohead's music, then murder. He kills on commission and also random strangers, until he falls in love and his life takes a different turn. The narrative adopts a cold, ironic male voice and presents a diary that holds a secret.
The work is part of the Panorama de narrativas collection (no. 686), translated by Sergi Pàmies; the original title is «Journal d'Hirondelle».
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking a brief, ironic read with a disturbing character.
Baroness Fabienne Claire Nothomb, better known by her pen name Amélie Nothomb, is a Belgian Francophone novelist. Part of her childhood was spent in Asia.
