«La velocidad de la luz» is a literary novel by Javier Cercas, published by Maxi-Tusquets in paperback (308 pages, in Spanish).
In 1987, a young aspiring novelist arrives at a university in the American Midwest and strikes up a relationship with Rodney Falk, a Vietnam veteran, surly and marked by his past. Years later, upon achieving success, the narrator reconstructs that friendship while the novel explores guilt, the stupidity of war, and the human capacity to inflict harm.

For readers of literary fiction and contemporary fiction interested in the weight of the past and the aftermath of war.
