«La muchacha de las bragas de oro» is the novel by Spanish writer Juan Marsé, published by Planeta in paperback (201 pages, in Spanish).
Luys Forest, a falangist writer fallen on hard times and a widower, tries to embellish the episodes of his political life in his memoirs. His niece Mariana, a cynical and perceptive young woman, disrupts his routine and triggers the only truly novelistic period of his life. Memory, identity, and criticism of Francoism underpin the plot.
The work was originally published in 1978, the year it received the Premio Planeta.
For readers of Spanish fiction seeking a novel about memory and Francoist Spain.
