«Rabos de lagartija» is the historical novel by Juan Marsé, published by Areté in hardcover (360 pages, in Spanish).
In postwar Barcelona, David and his dog Chispa take refuge in the apparitions of a fugitive libertarian father and a RAF pilot who stepped out of a magazine photograph. Inspector Galván and Rosa Bartra, a pregnant redhead, complete a plot of secrets, broken dreams and memory where reality and fiction blur.
The novel was awarded the Premio Nacional de Narrativa in 2001 and was shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize in 2004.
