«La mirada» is the contemporary novel by José María Guelbenzu, published by Siruela in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
A man strangles a woman in a sudden, inexplicable act. Terrified as he takes in what has happened, he flees through the city at night, unable to understand the death of someone he cared for. The flight becomes an inquiry that confronts him with his inner emptiness and leads to a deliberately ambiguous ending.
With an epilogue by José Ángel Valente, it belongs to the Nuevos Tiempos collection (no. 168) and was originally published in 1987.
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction seeking a short novel with a disturbing atmosphere.
José María Guelbenzu Fernández, also known as J.M. Guelbenzu, was a Spanish writer and literary critic. His work includes both experimental fiction and crime novels, particularly a long-running series featuring judge Mariana de Marco.
