«Fiesta al Noroeste» is the novel by Ana María Matute, published by Austral in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Dingo, a puppeteer, returns to Artámila Baja, the village in the northwest he fled years ago. On carnival night, his cart runs over a child and the accident brings him before Juan Medinao, the town's master; that encounter opens a journey into the past that confronts him with his childhood. Matute portrays that life with humanism and poetry.
