«La hoja plegada» is the novel by William Maxwell, published by Libros del Asteroide in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Chicago in the 1920s, it tells of the friendship between Lymie Peters, a diligent and clumsy boy, and Spud Latham, a young athlete with little interest in studies. Their bond cracks when they both meet Sally Forbes, for she falls in love with Spud. Maxwell thus portrays the transition from youth to adulthood.
Number 23 in the Libros del Asteroide collection, with a translation by Miguel Temprano García.
For readers of literary fiction interested in twentieth-century American narrative and coming-of-age novels.
