«Los cuerpos de las nadadoras» is the modern and contemporary fiction novel by Pedro Ugarte, in hardcover, published by Editorial Anagrama (296 pages).
Jorge, the narrator, observes family, friends, work and romantic relationships with amused perplexity and secret suffering. The chapters work as autonomous frames within a larger story, a life cycle that opens and closes without coming to a good end, with irony and a melancholic undertone.
It belongs to the Narrativas hispánicas collection (no. 213). Finalist for the Herralde Novel Prize and winner of the Euskadi Literature Prize in Spanish (1997).
For readers of contemporary narrative in Spanish interested in literary fiction from the nineties.
