«El Giocondo» is the novel by Francisco Umbral, published by Planeta in hardcover (190 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative follows El Giocondo, a boy described as a gazelle, on his pilgrimage through nocturnal Madrid, where he accumulates sighs, silences and empty conquests while seeking a pure love that never comes. Along the way he crosses paths with nocturnal poets, disillusioned actresses, young people who sell their smiles and truckers from Puerta de Toledo.
The novel was originally published in 1986 in Barcelona and is part of Planeta's Antología literaria collection.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
