«Las torres del olvido» is the science fiction novel by George Turner, published by Ediciones B in paperback (438 pages, in Spanish).
The year is 2041 and Francis Conway belongs to the 'swill', the mass that depends on state charity. Amid political corruption, the authorities' indifference and the relentless advance of the water, his home becomes a threat; to save himself, he can only flee before disaster catches up with him.
Novel originally published in English as «The Sea and Summer»; it won the Arthur C. Clarke Award for best novel in 1988 and was a finalist for the Nebula Award.
For fans of dystopias and climate fiction, especially stories about future societies.
George Reginald Turner was an Australian writer and critic, best known for the science fiction novels written in the later part of his career. His first science fiction story and novel appeared in 1978, when he was in his early sixties. By this point, however, he had already achieved success as a mainstream novelist, including a Miles Franklin Award, and as a literary critic.
