«Historias de la calle Cádiz» is a collection of stories by Joaquín Leguina, published by Ediciones Irreverentes in paperback (152 pages, in Spanish).
Number 20 Cádiz Street, in Santander, is the nexus of more or less true stories with formative weight. There are historical-political reflections, costumbrismo and intimacy, with love and heartbreak in the background; the wreck of the Cabo Machichaco in 1893, the fire of Santander, the civil war and the Chilean coup against Allende are evoked.
The work recovers the original project that appeared in 1985 and is part of the Narrativa collection (no. 81). It includes a prologue by Francisco José Peña.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in stories with a historical-political background and personal memory.
