«Octubre, octubre» is the novel by José Luis Sampedro, published by FisicalBook in hardcover (670 pages, in Spanish).
In this novel, Sampedro brings together several narrative voices, eras and cultural perspectives. The action takes place in Madrid during the month of October and follows characters marked by loneliness, lack of communication and the search for meaning; the author spent nearly twenty years writing it and felt it was his vital testament.
It was originally published in 1981; in some editions it appears as «Octubre, octubre (Los círculos del tiempo, I)». This edition includes an introduction by Robert Saladrigas and a biographical sketch by Alberto Cousté.
For readers of Spanish fiction who enjoy long, plural novels with multiple voices and eras.
José Luis Sampedro Sáez was a Spanish economist and writer who advocated an economy "more humane, more caring, able to help develop the dignity of peoples". Academician of the Real Academia Española since 1990, he was the recipient of the Order of Arts and Letters of Spain, the Menéndez Pelayo International Prize (2010) and the Spanish Literature National Prize (2011). He became an inspiration for the anti-austerity movement in Spain.
