«Mortal y rosa» is the novel by Francisco Umbral, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (209 pages, in Spanish).
The work approaches lived experience and memory to explore childhood, love, loss and death. Umbral deploys a lyrical prose that he himself defined as 'poem in prose of my life', with an intimate gaze on existence and its fragility. The tone is grave and elegiac, though it lets a current of despair and nihilism surface that runs through the reflection.
Work originally published in 1975, within the 'Diarios' series. This edition includes an introduction by Miguel García Posada and a biographical sketch by Alberto Cousté.
For readers of contemporary Spanish literature and intimate prose of an autobiographical nature.
Francisco Alejandro Pérez Martínez, better known as Francisco Umbral, was a Spanish journalist, novelist, biographer and essayist.
