«Los sueños asequibles de Josefina Jarama» is the picaresque novel by Manuel Guedán, published by Alfaguara in paperback, 240 pages, in Spanish.
From childhood, Josefina Jarama longs for a better life and sees only one path: social ascent. Her journey begins in a toy factory in Ibi, Alicante, alongside her mother, a clandestine communist. The novel traverses recent Spain and uses the picaresque to satirize meritocracy and the culture of effort in the times of the «Spanish miracle».
The work is part of Alfaguara's Hispánica collection. Manuel Guedán (1985), PhD in Latin American literature and editor, is also the author of «Los favores».
Suitable for readers aged 16 and over interested in social satire and contemporary Spanish narrative.
