«El viento de la Luna» is the contemporary fiction novel by Antonio Muñoz Molina, published by Booket in hardcover (384 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows a teenager in the city of Mágina during the summer of 1969, as the arrival of Apollo XI on the Moon breaks into a Spain still under dictatorship. The wonder at the space feat intertwines with the protagonist's awakening, the arrival of the first television set in his home, and the discovery of a family secret rooted in the civil war. A coming-of-age story about the loss of childhood and the passage to an adulthood marked by awareness of history and of oneself.
The work belongs to the Mágina narrative cycle, to which Beatus Ille and El jinete polaco also belong.
Recommended for readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and for those seeking coming-of-age stories set in rural Spain under Francoism, with echoes of Salinger and Philip Roth.
Novelista y ensayista jiennense, premio Cervantes 2024, autor de Plenilunio, El invierno en Lisboa, El jinete polaco y La noche de los tiempos.
