«Rabos de lagartija» is the novel by Juan Marsé, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (383 pages, in Spanish).
A teenager named David, his dog Chispa and the redhead Rosa Bartra inhabit a Barcelona marked by the Civil War. The boy takes refuge in imagination: a fugitive libertarian father and the RAF pilot from a photograph act as ghosts and confidants, in a plot about memory, lies and stolen dreams.
Winner of the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana (2000) and the Premio Nacional de Narrativa (2001), and finalist for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.
Aimed at readers of Spanish and historical fiction about postwar memory.
Juan Marsé Carbó was a Spanish novelist, journalist, and screenwriter who used Spanish as his literary language. In 2008, he was awarded the Cervantes Prize, "the Spanish-language equivalent" to the Nobel Prize in Literature.
