In 'La mujer loca', Juan José Millás introduces us to Julia, a woman who works in a fish shop and lives obsessed with grammar. Her life takes an unexpected turn when words with pathologies begin to appear in her room and imaginary people materialize. This peculiar world attracts the attention of a Millás character, who becomes involved in the life of Julia and an unconventional family gathered around Emérita, a terminally ill patient. In the midst of a narrative block, Millás takes refuge in a 'Diary of old age', debating between writing about Julia's madness or Emérita's decision, exploring the limits of reality and fiction with his characteristic humor and originality.
Juan José Millás is a Spanish writer and winner of the 1990 Premio Nadal. He was born in Valencia and has spent most of his life in Madrid, where he studied philosophy and literature at the Universidad Complutense.
