«El libro de Caín» is the contemporary fiction novel by Alexander Trocchi, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (256 pages, in Spanish).
The work is structured as the diary of a man named Joe Necchi, living on a Hudson barge, in the New York of the marginalized, amid clandestine injections, sordid Harlem dives, and escapes through the subway. His rebelliousness and freely chosen heroin make him a Camusian character, doomed to the solitude of freedom.
It is number 180 in Anagrama's Contraseñas collection, with a translation by Martín Lendínez, a prologue by Greil Marcus, and an introduction by Richard Seaver.
A cult work for readers interested in the literature of the margins and the literary scene of the 1950s and 1960s.
Alexander Whitelaw Robertson Trocchi was a Scottish novelist.
