«Los viejos amigos» is the contemporary fiction novel by Rafael Chirbes, published in 2003 by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (224 pages, in Spanish).
Old comrades united by a revolutionary project gather for a dinner. The first-person voices of the characters follow one another, qualify and contradict each other to reconstruct lives marked by guilt, disillusionment and betrayal. The novel explores the traps of memory and the emptiness of ideological discourses.
The novel is part of the Narrativas hispánicas collection, number 344, and was awarded the Premio Cálamo in 2003.
It is a work for a general audience interested in contemporary narrative and in fictions about memory, ideals and the passage of time.
