«El abrecartas» is the epistolary novel by Vicente Molina Foix, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (448 pages, in Spanish).
The novel opens with the letters that a childhood friend writes to García Lorca in the 1920s and, through a correspondence that structures the entire narrative, spans a hundred years of Spanish life. The story intersects with the private lives of a group of characters who write to each other instead of speaking, in a book without dialogues but with many voices where the past exerts its influence on the present.
It belongs to the Narrativas hispánicas collection, number 400. Published in 2006, it won the Premio Nacional de Narrativa and the Premio Salambó in 2007.
Recommended for readers of contemporary literary fiction interested in the epistolary novel and in recent Spanish history through literature.
Vicente Molina Foix is a Spanish writer and film director.
