«El amante bilingüe» is the contemporary fiction novel by Juan Marsé, published by Planeta in paperback (220 pages, in Spanish).
Abandoned by his wife, Juan Marés invents a new identity, that of Faneca, a charnego and deceitful character, to try to win her back. Between the grotesque and the ironic, the narrative portrays the social and linguistic duality of Catalonia and class differences, and offers a reflection on personal identity and its contradictions.
The novel was published in 1997 and belongs to Planeta's Narrativa collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking a social satire with a linguistic and class background.
Juan Marsé Carbó was a Spanish novelist, journalist, and screenwriter who used Spanish as his literary language. In 2008, he was awarded the Cervantes Prize, "the Spanish-language equivalent" to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
