«La vieja religión» is the historical novel by David Mamet published by Debolsillo in paperback, with 215 pages, in Spanish.
Starting from the murder of Mary Phagan in Atlanta in 1915, the novel recreates the trial of Leo Frank, manager of the National Pencil Factory accused of the crime. Mamet explores the racial and religious prejudices of the American South and the tensions between Protestants, Catholics, whites and blacks, with tense prose and sharp dialogue.
The work was originally published in 1997 as The Old Religion. This Spanish edition appeared in 2002 in the Ave Fénix collection from Debolsillo (no. 12).
For readers of historical fiction and true crime, and for followers of David Mamet's theater interested in his narrative work.
